New Delhi: The income tax department on Tuesday said it has introduced the ‘e-Pay Tax’ feature on its official online portal to make it simple for taxpayers to pay taxes. “The ‘e-Pay Tax’ feature introduced by the Department is an elegant, efficient, and hassle-free method to fulfil your tax obligations,” the tax department said in a statement.
Gone are the days of long queues at banks, tedious form-filling, and the looming anxiety of last-minute tax payments. Recognising the need for simpler and more accessible payment methods, and in another step towards digitally empowering the taxpayers, the Income Tax Department has introduced the ‘e-Pay Tax’ feature on its official online portal, it added.
“The feature also encourages a culture of timely compliance by eliminating friction in the tax payment process. It brings tax administration closer to the citizen, especially for individuals and small businesses, offering a direct digital route for them,” the tax department said.
The Income Tax Department has been relentlessly trying to simplify both income tax rates and slabs on the one hand and also payment methods and procedures so that citizens face less hassle in paying up and filing ITRs.
