Filing Income Tax Returns become easier for taxpayers! The Income Tax Department has introduced a new ‘e-Pay Tax’ feature on its official e-filing portal. This functionality enables taxpayers to pay their direct taxes online conveniently, without the need to log in to the portal or visit a bank physically. The ‘e-Pay Tax’ feature is designed to remove the hassles of traditional tax payment methods and is available to both registered and unregistered users.
The new feature can be used in various scenarios, making tax payments more convenient and efficient. It allows users to pay advance tax and self-assessment tax after calculating their total tax liability. The service also facilitates the payment of regular assessment tax in response to a notice from the Income Tax Department. Adding further, deductors or collectors can use it to deposit TDS/TCS, and taxpayers can pay any applicable penalties, interest, or late fees through this digital platform.
