An income tax refund reissue request is how you ask the Income Tax Department to send your refund again after the first attempt failed. You raise it on the e-Filing portal at incometax.gov.in. This guide follows the steps on the portal help page for refund reissue<\/a>, checked on 2 November 2026.<\/p>\n The portal describes this facility for registered users who have a refund failure after filing a return. The Department\u2019s own refund reissue page<\/a> says a refund is issued only to a pre-validated bank account. It also says you can raise the request after the processing centre (CPC) communicates the failure.<\/p>\n The help page does not list the reasons a refund can fail. So do not assume a cause. Read the message you received from the Department and act on what it says.<\/p>\n The portal lists four prerequisites.<\/p>\n These are the steps as the portal describes them.<\/p>\n The Department\u2019s other page describes the same flow slightly differently. It asks you to select the assessment year for which the refund failed, then review your bank details and submit. The screens can change, so follow what you see on the portal.<\/p>\nWhen can you raise a refund reissue request?<\/h2>\n
