ITR Filing Last Date: In the month of July, taxpayers across the country start rushing to file ITR. This year a new question has gone viral on social media: Will filing ITR after July 17 help in getting income tax refund quickly?
ITR Filing 2025: As soon as the month of July knocks, taxpayers across the country start preparing to file Income Tax Return (ITR). But this time a question is becoming increasingly viral on social media that will filing ITR after July 17 get refund quickly?
This question has confused many people. Some people believe that the processing speed of the Income Tax Department has now become so fast that the date does not matter. At the same time, experts say that the truth is completely different from this.
Early filing means early refund
If you file ITR in May or June and all the details are correct, the refund can usually come in 10–20 days. But as the deadline (15 September 2025) approaches, the work pressure on the Income Tax Department increases, which slows down the processing.
Chartered Accountant’s advice
Chartered Accountant Niyati Shah says that those who file late may often have to wait for 60–90 days, especially if there is any mistake in the documents or bank details. According to her, it is very important to do e-verification after filing and it has to be completed within 30 days. In such a situation, if you want the refund to come quickly, then file ITR as soon as possible and do e-verification immediately. It is just a rumor that filing after July 17 will get the refund quickly, not reality.
If you have filed ITR by July 15 and have also completed e-verification on time, then usually the refund can come to your bank account within 10 to 17 days. However, this time depends on the case of each person. If your information is absolutely correct, there is no error in TDS and bank details, then the refund can be received quickly, but if the Income Tax Department has to investigate any claim or there is any error in the documents, then it can take up to 4–5 weeks.
