Nothing feels better than receiving an income tax refund — but nothing feels worse than waiting months because of a small filing mistake.
Here are the most common errors that delay refunds:
❌ Putting wrong bank account number / IFSC
❌ Selecting wrong ITR form
❌ Claiming deductions without valid proof
❌ Not reporting interest income from savings account/FD
❌ Mismatch between Form 26AS and ITR
❌ Not verifying return after filing
The last one is shocking — thousands of taxpayers file correctly but forget to e-verify, and their refund gets stuck for months.
If you want a fast refund, make sure:
✔ ITR matches Form 16 & Form 26AS
✔ All bank accounts are reported
✔ Aadhaar-OTP / net banking e-verification is completed
Fast filing = fast refund.
Your money belongs to you — don’t let small mistakes hold it back.
