Here's how to check ITR status:

Those whose ITR does not require an audit (and who have submitted their ITR for AY 2022-23) are therefore entitled for an ITR refund, and such taxpayers can check their ITR refund status online if they have yet to receive the excess tax amount they paid during FY 2021-22.

After 10 days of filing an ITR, taxpayers in India can check the status of their ITR refund. So, taxpayers who submitted their ITR more than 10 days ago and are still waiting for their ITR refund can check the status of their ITR refund online by logging in to the income tax e-filing portal.
