However, the income tax refund will only be issued after the tax department processes your ITR and sends you an intimation notice confirming it. This intimation notice is issued under section 143 (1) of the Income-tax Act, 1961. This year, the returns need to be filed for FY 2023-24 (AY 2024-25) with the current deadline being July 31, 2024.
