What is the process for claiming a refund in case of a rectification order?

If the income tax department issues a rectification order correcting an error or mistake in the original assessment order, you may be eligible for a refund of excess tax paid due to the rectification. In such cases, you need to file a refund claim with the jurisdictional tax officer, providing a copy of the rectification order and supporting documents. The refund claim will be processed, and the excess amount, if any, will be refunded after verification. It’s advisable to claim the refund within the prescribed time limits to avoid delays or rejection.
