- Individual taxpayers can now track the status of their income tax refunds online.
- To check the status of their refund, taxpayers can log in at https://tin.tin.nsdl.com/oltas/refundstatuslogin.html. If there is a problem, they can contact the assessing officer or the refund banker, the State Bank of India.
- In case of any grievance, taxpayers can also contact the additional commissioner in charge of the range or the income tax ombudsman.
- This facility is not for companies and trusts.
- For faster processing of refunds, details of bank account like the bank, branch and MICR code (a nine-digit number on the bottom of the bank cheque) should be clearly mentioned in the tax return form.
- Under the refund banker scheme, the refund amount will be either transferred electronically to the bank account of the taxpayer or be sent sent by way of a cheque delivered by courier.
- The Income Tax Department plans to substantially reduce the return processing time, which is at present at least four months.
- The department plans to set up six large central return processing centres in different parts of the country. All the returns captured in digital format will be processed at these centres.
- The central return processing scheme was announced in the Budget 2008-09.
The refund banker scheme has commenced from 24th Jan 2007. It is now operational for taxpayers assessed in Delhi in salary charges i.e. CIT XIV, XV,XVI and one business charge i.e. CIT IX. It is also operational in Patna for CIT I, II and Central. From September 30, 2007 it has been extended in few other stations i.e. Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai (except for company and exemption refunds).
In the refund banker scheme all Income tax Returns will be processed by Assessing officers. ITOs, Asst. Deputy Commissioners, Commissioners. The refunds (by ECS or paper cheques)will be sent by CMP branch of SBI.
Taxpayers will get status of refund 10 days after the refund has been sent by their Assessing Officer for refund banker. Status will be available only for those taxpayers whose refunds are to go through refund banker scheme.

I have received a mail from the goverment of India for a refund of 13963 amount. But this seems to be more a phising email rather than a genuine one. The mail is asking for Master and Visa Credit and debit card with PIN number.
This is a Phising mail. So please avoid. If somebody thinks it is genuine one please clarify.
