    NEW DELHI : Ever since tax refund rules were changed from March this year, the Income Tax department is flooded with queries from taxpayers on delay or rejection of refunds. Earlier, soon after the income tax returns (ITR) were processed, refunds, if any, used to land straight into the bank accounts of assesses through online transfers.

    This year things are a little different as several taxpayers are not compliant with the new rules and are therefore, facing issues related to refunds.

    The new income tax rules mandate the linking of your bank account with Permanent Account Number (PAN) which can be done easily by asking your bank to do so. The second rule states that you should pre-validate your bank account on the income tax e-filing website as refunds are being issued only through the e-mode and not through paper cheques. You can read more about how to ensure compliance with the new rules here.

    If you have not followed both the rules, it is likely that your tax refund would have got stuck.
