Income Tax: Over the last two years, the Income Tax Department has made numerous efforts to make the process of completing an income tax return (ITR Filing) simple and painless. The Income Tax Department has also built a new portal for form revision and income tax return submission. In addition to these changes, the Income Tax Department has revealed a new tax payment method. Taxpayers can now pay their taxes by credit card or UPI.
Any taxpayer can pay their taxes on the NSDL website utilising the Income Tax Department’s facility, using a debit card issued by an authorised bank and net banking from 16 banks. If you are in this situation and do not have an account with one of these institutions, you may find it difficult to pay your taxes, but you should not be concerned. Tax payments can now be made via credit cards, online banking, pay-at-bank counters, UPI, RTGS, and NEFT, in addition to debit cards, as part of the new service provided by the Income Tax Department.
