ABC need to have patience and perseverance for getting the refund from

little wait and persuasion .Take the following procedure

  never actually received amount of refund.2. Write a letter to A.O with copy of
  affidavit.3. Attach an indemnity bond for the amount of refund.
  Wait for 15 days……then write to Commissioner of income of income in same line
  of as stated above.

  Commissioner of Income Tax office , stating full facts and also that you had
  written to other lower authorities. You can also lodge grievance to income tax
  department online by clicking this link http://pgportal.gov.in/Grievance.aspx

are changing slowly , So you need to have patience and also that the fault lies
with refund claimant.
You can also write to Ombudsman of the department if someone is appointed for
your place .Visit the income tax office to know if there is ombudsman office .
