When you revise, CPC processes the latest valid return. The refund is worked out on the revised figures, less any refund already paid on the original.

Provisions
Sec 143(1), Income-tax Act 1961 (now Sec 270(1), Income-tax Act 2025); Sec 139(5), Income-tax Act 1961 (now Sec 263(5), Income-tax Act 2025); Sec 244A, Income-tax Act 1961 (now Sec 437, Income-tax Act 2025)
Analysis
Say the original return gave a ₹10,000 refund that was already paid, and the revised return shows ₹16,000. Only the extra ₹6,000 plus any interest is paid after processing. If the original was not yet processed, CPC usually processes the revised one directly. Verify the revised return quickly so processing is not delayed.
