In pursuance of the exercise to meet liquidity needs taxpayers during
COVID-19 pandemic, the income tax department has fast tracked its tax
refund process and processed 20.44 lakh cases amounting to more than Rs
62,361 crore upto June 30.
The income tax department has worked
at breakneck speed to process the refund claims. It has issued tax
refunds at a speed of 76 cases per minute from April 8 to June 30, 2020,
a CBDT statement said.
"During this period of just 56 weekdays,
the Central Board of Direct taxes (CBDT) has issued refunds in more than
20.44 lakh cases amounting to more than Rs 62,361 crore," the statement
added.
CBDT said that taxpayers are experiencing this facet of
the I-T department which is not only taxpayers' friendly but also that
of a facilitator providing liquidity in this hard time of Covid-19
pandemic.
Income tax refunds amounting to Rs. 23,453.57 crore
have been issued in 19,07,853 cases to taxpayers and corporate tax
refunds amounting to Rs 38,908.37 crore have been issued in 1,36,744
cases to taxpayers during this period.
Refunds of this magnitude
and numbers have been issued completely electronically and have been
directly deposited into the bank accounts of the taxpayers, CBDT said.
Unlike
what used to happen some years ago, in these refund cases no taxpayer
had to approach an officer of the department to request for release of
refund. They now got refund directly into their bank accounts.
CBDT
said that taxpayers should provide immediate response to emails of
income tax department so that refunds in their cases too could be
processed and issued right away. Such emails of I-T department seek
taxpayers to confirm their outstanding demand, their bank accounts
number and reconciliation of defect/mismatch prior to issue of refund.
In
all such cases, quick responses from the taxpayers would have enabled
the I-T Department to process their refunds expeditiously, CBDT said.
