The e-Pay Tax service on the e-Filing portal simplifies the process of paying direct taxes online. It enables taxpayers to generate a challan (CRN), make payments, and track payment history through authorized banks. Additionally, it allows for the filing of Forms 26QB, 26QC, 26QD, and 26QE for various tax-related transactions.
Taxpayers can pay using net banking, debit card, or at bank counters.
ITR filing for Assessment Year 2025-26 will begin on April 1, 2025. The Income Tax Department will notify taxpayers once offline utilities and online forms are available on the e-Filing portal. For individuals who do not require an audit, the last date to file their return is July 31, 2025.
