Not got your income tax refund yet? Here's how you can raise a re-issue request

You are eligible to receive income tax refund if you have paid more tax to the government than your actual tax liability. This usually happens when the advance tax, self-assessment tax paid or TDS deducted of the taxpayer is higher than the total tax liability of a taxpayer. 

If the tax department determines, after processing your income tax return (ITR), that a refund is payable to you, an intimation is sent to you via SMS and email. The intimation notice received by you shows the amount of refund that will be credited into your account along with a refund sequence number. An intimation is sent to you under section 143 (1) of the income tax Act. 

Do keep in mind that you will only get the refund if into a pre-validated bank account. Now, if for some reason you have not received the refund amount, then you can raise a service request on the e-filing portal. 

Things to remember 
Before you raise the request for the refund re-issue on the e-filing website, remember that rejection of refund on tin-nsdl website must be reflected. If you cannot track the status of your tax refund or until the reason of rejection is reflected on the e-filing website, then you cannot raise the refund re-issue request. 

In such a case you have to raise a grievance on the e-filing website, under the 'e-Nivaran' tab.

Income tax department issues warning against this fake SMS

After the income tax return (ITR) filing season is over, taxpayers have started to get tax refunds in their bank accounts. Miscreants have now started to take advantage of unsuspecting assesses by sending out fraudulent SMSes with phishing links.

Sample this. "Important Alert! Dear xxxxxxxx, the lncometax_Department requires you to click the link below to submit a formal request for the payment of your unclaimed and overdue tax-refund of xx,xxx INR. http://151.80.90.62/ITRefund." Several taxpayers might consider this to be an authentic SMS sent by the income tax department to claim tax refund.

One such alert taxpayer contacted the I-T department and shared this SMS on Twitter and asked "Is it authentic?".

Tax sleuths were quick to point out that this is a phishing message. "You are requested not to click on any such link or any other link which promises to facilitate filing of ITR or give refund," said the department in its warning.

How to identify fake SMS

On its website, the department has also released a detailed note on reporting and identification of phishing, fraudulent refund e-mail scams and fake income tax websites.

The I-T department has clarified that it does not request detailed personal information through e-mail nor does it send e-mail requesting PIN numbers, passwords, etc for credit cards or bank accounts.

If you click on the link sent on the fraudulent SMS by scamsters, you might be asked to submit sensitive information such as usernames, passwords and credit card details. This is nothing but a case of phishing where an attempt is made to enter details at a fake website whose look and feel are almost identical to the legitimate one.

What to do after receiving such SMSes:

If you receive an e-mail or SMS which claims to be sent by the Income Tax department, then you should never reply to it directly.

Be very careful while opening any attachments as those may contain malicious code that might infect your computer or mobile phone.

You also need to be careful while clicking on any link sent in the email or SMS. Even if you click on it, do not reveal confidential information like bank account, credit card details.

To check your tax refund status, the best option is to log-in to income tax e-filing website.

Also, the income tax department has asked all assesses to report any such doubtful emails to them at webmanager@incometax.gov.in​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ and incident@cert-in.org.in.

10 reasons why the sparrow is fast disappearing from Mumbai

The friendly chirp on the window sill will soon be a sight for sore eyes in Mumbai, as the innocuous sparrow is being wiped out from the urban jungle. ‘A sparrow is to the city what a tiger is to the forest’ can best sum up today’s situation, signifying how sparrows are the bio-indicators of an urban environment, much like the tiger whose decline indicates a threat to the ecosystem.While no one can be singled out for the declining sparrow population, it is humans who are collectively responsible for it, explains Mohammed Dilawar, President, Nature Forever Society (NFS), a crusader for the sparrow as well as other common flora and fauna in urban habitats. Through his non-governmental, non-profit organisation, he has been championing the cause of sparrows, by involving citizens in the conservation movement, especially in urban areas.An NFS initiative creating positive impact is World Sparrow Day, celebrated on March 20 annually, to raise awareness about conserving the sparrow population. So, why do we need to safeguard them, you might ask. Here are 10 reasons why Mumbaikars need to save the sparrow:

1. Felling of trees    It is common knowledge that more the number of trees, more the number of birds. The spike in the felling of trees in Mumbai is a major reason why sparrows and other birds are facing a loss of habitat. But wait, sparrows nest in buildings too, right? They do, indeed, but are sadly facing a double whammy.

2. Lack of cavity nesting    The ubiquitous glass buildings of Mumbai—the corporate dens—have replaced many older structures that were built with a façade that had nooks and crannies, even bricked roofs, which allow sparrows to nest.Cavities are important for birds like sparrows, mynahs, parakeets, etc. to
