CBDT refunds Rs 52000 Cr this year so far but has no data about refund due to be paid: Minister

By TIOL News Service

NEW DELHI, DEC 15, 2012: REFUND is one of the key 'funds' which enriches the image of the Income Tax Department. And there seems to be major focus on speedy clearance of refund cases. While answering a question in the Lok Sabha yesterday, the MoS(R) said that the returns for the accounting periods as F.Ys 2009-10 and 2010-11 if filed during F.Y. 2011-12 can be processed upto 31.03.2013. Normally, after processing of return, the refund generated is used in due course. The timelines for processing of return of income are complied with as these are contained in the Income Tax Act and statutorily enforceable.

The data for amount of refunds paid is maintained on all India basis and not region-wise. The all India data for refunds alongwith interest paid is tabulated as under:

Sl.No.

Financial Year

Refund (in Rs. crores)

2011-12

* 95278

4.

2012-13 (upto Oct. 2012)

* 51908

* figures are provisional

As the veracity and quantum of refund is determined on processing of the return of income (including matching of tax payment data), there may be variation between the refund allowed and the claim made in the return of income. Thus, data about number as well as amount of refund due to be paid is not maintainable.

Grievances or claims about refunds, if any, received are looked into by the Assessing Officers concerned and appropriate action in accordance with the provisions of the Income Tax Act is taken.

Various steps taken by the Department to expedite refunds are as under:

i) Promoting e-filing of the returns for speedy processing

ii) Issuance of refunds through Refund Banker

iii) Centralized Processing Centre (CPC) at Bengaluru has been set up to process e-returns.

iv) Through Citizens' Charter and other press releases issued by the Department, tax payers are requested to carefully mention the relevant particulars in return of income.

v) TDS deductors are required to compulsory e-file their TDS returns on quarterly basis.

vi) Mandatory quoting of deductee PAN in the quarterly statement of TDS filed by the deductors.

vii) Facility of viewing the Tax Credit Statement in Form 26AS is made available to tax payers so that they can verify the TDS details before filing the return of income and take proper steps with the deductor(s) to rectify mistakes, if any.

viii) Online viewing of status of tax payers refund is available for better information dissemination.
