PhonePe has launched the 'Income Tax Payment' feature on its app, allowing taxpayers to pay self-assessment and advance tax directly from within the app.
The feature is in partnership with PayMate, a digital B2B payments and service provider.
Users can pay taxes using their credit card or UPI, with credit card payments offering a 45-day interest-free period and reward points depending on the bank.
Taxpayers receive a Unique Transaction Reference (UTR) number as an acknowledgement within one working day, and the challan for the tax payment within two working days.
