f Income tax Refund

CPC Bangalore issued an income tax refund check that was returned undeliverable or not credited because of incorrect account information, an expired check, or other reasons.

Presently days Assessee who record their Annual expense form online gets their discount check gave by CPC Bangalore. Discounts are given by two modes:- .

  1. By depositing the refund amount into the Assessee’s bank account if the Assessee provided accurate bank information in his tax return.
  2. By sending an Income Tax Refund Cheque to the Assessee in the event that the Assessee’s Income Tax Return does not accurately reflect his bank account information.

In the case of physical checks, there is a possibility that the Assessee has relocated to a new address after submitting his or her tax return, at which point the CPC Bangalore refund check will be returned for non-delivery. Even though the Assessee’s address has not changed, it’s possible that they won’t be able to receive the refund order because no one was home on the day the check was delivered or because the postal service returned the refund check undeliverable because the house was locked.

Further on the off chance that Assessee has applied for ECS however has entered wrong record subtleties or record of which subtleties been placed is shut and ECS to such record been fizzled.

One question that arises in these situations is what the Assessee should do to request a reissue of the refund check, how to request credit to that account in his bank account, and how to notify the new address?
