What is E-Pay Tax?

The new E-Pay tax system lets you pay taxes directly through the income tax portal, without logging in or dealing with long queues at banks.

Major Shift for Taxpayers

This system marks a big step in digital governance by removing usernames, passwords and paperwork replacing them with a fast transparent online payment experience.

Step 1: Visit the Portal

Users need to head to the official income tax e-filing website and click the e-Pay Tax option available under the ‘Quick Links' section.

Step 2: Verify Your Identity

Enter your PAN twice and a mobile number. Once the OTP is verified, access to the payment section is unlocked without needing to log in.

Steps 3: Choose Payment Type

The platform offers clear categories like income tax, self-assessment or advance tax allowing users to easily select the right type without any confusion.

Step 4: Enter Payment Details

Basic details like tax amount, interest or surcharge must be filled in. The system helps users calculate values and navigate the process without errors.

Step 5: Review and Pay

Before payment, a detailed summary appears. On clicking ‘Pay Now,’ confirmation is sent via SMS and email with a receipt ready to download instantly.

A Sign of Digital Progress

The upgrade reflects a move toward citizen-friendly digital tools, showing how public services can become faster, simpler and more efficient with the right tech.
