ITR processing delay. "Has your ITR been processed yet?"
My ITR 2 processed today. The refund was about ~1L and got it without any interest. Seems this entire excess is from excess advance tax and they don't pay interest for it.
Take your CC rewards on advance tax payments as Interest 😉
What's the Payment Note says, any mention of Int Amount !!
Delay attributable to Taxpayer (in months) = 0
Interest u/s 244A on refund (on item 40 above after considering item 41) = 0
Oh this is not good. I paid 3% excess tax and did not receive interest. Don't understand why Govt. made it 10% at least difference for interest eligibility.
Same for me too. Excess tax doesn't earn interest. If they have deducted excess , only then they pay interest.
To clear any existing confusion for people who are unaware, any substantial changes announced in the next budget in February 2026 would only be ratified a few months down the line into 2026, and would only affect the ITRs meant for AY 2027-28 (and NOT the ITRs for next year, i.e. AY 2026-27).
So it's not like that the CBDT would be in a hurry to update the relevant ITR utilities because of any changes in the 2026 Financial Bill. They would have plenty of time for that. So any major changes made in the budget is no excuse for delayed ITRs.

It does only when refund amount is 10% more of liability and advance tax also gets interest because some of itrs processed till now had advance tax and interest did came.
You check as to why they didn't give? Were you late with advance tax payment for quarters or you actually have no tax?
Not necessary. Excess advance tax or self assessment tax also earn interest as far as my knowledge.
When did u paid that extra (mis-calculated) amount?
It's 15th March 2025

Dukh k sathi 😀 when you submitted the return and which ITR?
Submitted and e-verified on Aug 24. I have claimed 30k+ in refund this time. Hence the delay, I guess.

The ITR I filed last year was processed only in 2025. So, I don't mind waiting till 2026 for this year's ITR. The ITRs that I filed for my mother and sister one month after filing my own ITR have already been processed in September though.
This year, there is a reason for delay. Availability of forms delayed too much. Last date extended. Online filing of ITR 5/6/7 became available after due date.
They extended non-audit date till Oct 31st.
Changes to forms were made not only looking at this year but next year also where upto 12L/12.75L income will be Nil tax.
As I said before, once my own May month filled ITR processed in Jan next year.
Except ITR 1, all other ITR takes time depending upon how complex data is. Those who have crypto trading income are facing too much delay.
Worry not as they have too much time till 31 Dec 2026 to process.
I have stopped looking for two ITR2 left.
