Analysis

A request filed on 10 August 2026 should be decided by 28 February 2027, since six months run from the end of August. Status shows stages such as submitted, processing and order passed. When an order is passed, download it from the same page and check whether the demand or refund has changed. If the order is passed but the refund has not come, check the refund status separately.
