There are no fixed deadlines for tax refund.
If you have a refund made after filing ITR, then you get it through the Central Tax Processing Center (CPC) of Income Tax Department, usually tax refund. Comes within a few days of filing, but if there is a mistake in your ITR assessment then the tax refund takes time.
There is no fixed deadline for issuing tax refunds. You can get it in a week and it may take more time. Apart from this, in many cases it takes months. It depends on your case how long your refund will come.
