Income Tax Refund banker scheme launched

The income tax (I-T) department has introduced
the refund banker scheme in the district from
October 1. I-T refunds would now be sent to the
assessee by the refund bunker (State Bank of India)
only, either through the electronic clearing service
(ECS) mode or as paper refunds. To opt for the ECS mode,
taxpayers are required to mention the MICR code and
ten-digit bank account number while filing returns.

Taxpayers are also required to list
their complete communication address,
bank account number, bank details and

In case of returns claiming refund already
filed by taxpayers where updated, full and
correct particulars have not been mentioned,
taxpayers have to communicate the particulars
in writing to the assessing officer concerned.
