04 April 2019 CPC processes the returns according to its own programming and sometimes very quickly. Any delay in processing may be due to the lower tax collection or under achieved tax collection targets. To raise the net collection figures also sometimes the refunds are withheld. There may be any other practical issue also with the relevant returns.
The Government creates confusion in the minds of tax payers by announcing and claiming that refunds will be issued within 2 days of filing of the return, whereas the assessee knows the ground realities.
Still, we have to accept that CPC is a boon for taxpayers. Our AOs are helpless in this regard. In this month, it is hoped that all the pending refunds will be given.
