Q: How long should an IT refund take?

15-30 days for online-verified returns per CBDT Instruction 1/2024. 60 days is the outer service standard. Beyond 60 days, RTI is the proper remedy.

Q: What is the RTI fee to CPC Bengaluru?

Rs 10 under Central RTI Rules 2012. BPL exempt under Section 7(5). Pay online via SBI gateway on rtionline.gov.in or via IPO in favour of Accounts Officer Income Tax Department.

Q: Can I claim interest on my delayed refund?

Yes — Section 244A provides 6 percent per annum simple interest. Your RTI should explicitly ask for the interest calculation. CPC auto-computes but errors are common.

Q: My Section 245 adjustment was done without consent — can I challenge?

Yes. Section 245 requires prior written intimation and a 21-day response window. If not followed, the adjustment is procedurally void. Vodafone Idea v. CPC (Delhi HC 2024) is on point. File rectification under Section 154 plus RTI for the Section 245 intimation.

Q: Is the Income Tax Ombudsman still functioning?

Yes — re-operationalised in 2024 with jurisdiction up to Rs 20 lakh. Faster than RTI plus First Appeal for hardship cases.
