Complaint about Delay in Income Tax Refund – Alankit Assignments Limited

With delays in income tax refunds being commonplace, a proactive approach on your part is needed. 

Non-receipt of income tax refund is a common issue faced by taxpayers in India. Typically, the Income Tax Department verifies the facts presented by the taxpayer as soon as the ITR is filed and refunds the excess tax within four months via a check or ECS. However, the amount is prone to delays for multiple reasons, including the concerned department’s negligence, some technical glitch and more. In the wake of delayed tax refunds, the victim has every reason to feel beleaguered, as he has to undergo a drawn out and time-consuming process to get his due. 

Alankit Assignments Limited, a top financial services company, has been lending a helping hand to victims of non-receipt issues pertaining to income tax refunds through professional services and education. As a touch point for customer interaction, Alankit’s official website receives a large number of complaints that reflects the severity of the issue. As per some Alankit complaints, the delay period may even stretch to several years, leaving the victim with no recourse but to wait. However, the majority of victims suffer because of their negligence.  

If Alankit Assignments Ltd complaints are something to go by, not many are aware of the existence of Tax Ombudsman, an independent body represented by retired officials from IT Department or Indian Revenue Service. The Tax Ombudsman operates in certain cities and is authorized to address grievances of taxpayers who have been denied of their rightful refunds. However, you cannot approach the body directly, as it is mandatory to approach the IT official first and submit a written complaint. The Ombudsman will entertain your case only if the concerned official fails to take appropriate measures, rejects the complaint outright or does not bother to respond to the complaint within 30 days. You have to substantiate your case with appropriate identity documents, income proofs, copies of complaints filed and more.
