The month of July is the time when all taxpayers are busy filing their Income Tax Returns (ITR) for the financial year 2022-23.
The last date for filing and making payment of ITR is 31st July, and the government has emphasized that the deadline will not be extended beyond this date.
To assist taxpayers during this period, Indian digital payment company PhonePe has introduced a user-friendly feature called ‘Income Tax Payment’ on its app.
Easy Payment of Income Tax with PhonePe
The newly launched feature offers individuals and businessmen the convenience of both self-assessment and advance tax payment, eliminating the need to navigate complex processes on the tax portal.
PhonePe has partnered with digital B2B payments and service provider PayMate to offer this seamless experience to users.
Flexible Payment Options and Rewards
The ‘Income Tax Payment’ feature is available on both iOS and Android smartphones, providing users with the option to make payments through credit cards or UPI.
Additionally, users can avail the benefit of interest-free credit for 45 days and earn reward points for their tax payments.
