Need Help: Income tax refund - Bangalore

[hsgururaj]

Hi Friends,

I have to get tax refund for assessing year 2007-08. On the incometax Bangalore website I got an email id (itprbangalore@rediffmail.com) to send grievance to PRO. When I emailed them yesterday with all my details and also attached the acknowledgement scanned copy in the email. I received a reply within three hours that I have to wait for couple of months. Can any one help me to know the exact status because I'm not sure when they say "couple of months". I have attached my email and reply from PRO for your reference.

Regards,
Gururaj

Gururaj,

Why don't you reply back to the PRO by email and ask him what he "exactly" means by couple of months and that if he can give you an approximate number of months, you will not disturb him till that month.
