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.
This system marks a big step in digital governance by removing usernames, passwords and paperwork replacing them with a fast transparent online payment experience.
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.
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.
The platform offers clear categories like income tax, self-assessment or advance tax allowing users to easily select the right type without any confusion.
Basic details like tax amount, interest or surcharge must be filled in. The system helps users calculate values and navigate the process without errors.
Before payment, a detailed summary appears. On clicking ‘Pay Now,’ confirmation is sent via SMS and email with a receipt ready to download instantly.
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.
