In a move to simplify tax payments and enhance digital convenience, the Income Tax Department has updated the list of banks authorized under the e-Pay Tax Service on its e-Filing portal. With 30 banks now included, taxpayers have more options to make direct tax payments, reducing dependency on traditional methods.

Seamless Tax Payment with e-Filing

The e-Filing portal enables taxpayers to file income tax returns and make tax payments completely online. With secure access through PAN-based login credentials, individuals and businesses can complete transactions effortlessly. This initiative supports the government’s vision of a digital, paperless tax system, making compliance more accessible and hassle-free.

Who Can Pay Taxes via e-Pay Tax Service?

Taxpayers holding accounts in the 30 authorized banks can directly pay their taxes online through the Income Tax e-Filing portal. The updated list includes 17 private sector banks and 13 public sector banks, covering a wide range of banking options.

Authorized Private Banks

Axis Bank, Bandhan Bank, City Union Bank, DCB Bank, Dhanlaxmi Bank, Federal Bank, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, IDFC First Bank, IndusInd Bank, Jammu & Kashmir Bank, Karnataka Bank, Karur Vysya Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank, RBL Bank, South Indian Bank, Tamilnad Mercantile Bank Ltd.

Alternative Payment Methods for Non-Listed Banks

If your bank is not among the authorized ones, you can still pay taxes via NEFT/RTGS or Payment Gateway. Currently, banks like SBI, HDFC Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Federal Bank, Canara Bank, and Bank of Maharashtra support these transactions.

For every tax payment, taxpayers must generate a Challan Reference Number (CRN), ensuring smooth tracking and verification.

_{We do not take money from any political parties. We do not endorse In_dia’s ruling party BJP and In_dia’s Prime Minister’s position on keeping In_dia a closed market, ambiguous economy, and keeping India as a heavy taxing country so no one from outside world wants to do business here. It’s like denying In_dia its right in the world…}

_{BJP Government also discourages small and local media, coming down on them heavily regulating and using lawful actions along with soft threats from demented bureaucrat extremists and other extremist groups. On one hand, the mainstream media in In_dia is getting rich and on other hand the local small media is being strangulated. So if not automated or required, We do not willfully publish any content from In_dia or pertaining to that country.}
