The Income Tax Department on Wednesday said that it has processed more than 99% of the refund claims pending as on June 30, 2018 and that the refunds have been made to the taxpayers.
“The Income Tax Department observed a dedicated fortnight from June 1-15, 2018 to expeditiously clear pending matters of appeal effect and rectification,” the Department said in a statement.
“More than 20,000 such matters were disposed of and refunds were issued to the taxpayers, wherever due. Seeing the success of this initiative, the special drive was extended in certain regions up to June 30, 2018,” the department said in the statement.
