Income Tax Refund: Types of Status Online

While checking your tax refund status online you are likely to come across various kinds of status messages on the website. Demonstrated below are few of the common types of status messages that may emerge at the website. Whenever there are some disparities witnessed by the department, other status messages may also appear. You have the right to appeal and notify the department in case you notice any discrepancies at your status on the website.

1. Change of Address: When you swift your house or move to a new location and fail to notify about it to the income tax department through the online registration system, your refund cheque sent to your old location would return back and this would be reflected in your status as ‘Change of Address’  at the website.

2. Cheque Encashed Status: After receiving your refund cheque when you encash it, your status at the website will reflect the same. But if you have actually not encashed your cheque and your status shows ‘Cheque Encashed’ then you need to at once inform the department and take steps to get back your money at the earliest.
