FAQs on Make Payment Online

1. Can I make my tax payments online?

Yes, you can make your tax payment using:

(i) Authorized Bank Debit Card, or
(ii) Authorized Bank Net Banking facility, or
(iii) Payment Gateway (Debit Card / Credit Card / Net Banking of Non-Authorized Banks or UPI)

Using the online payment service, you will be able to pay tax for the saved drafts of the challans or make tax payment of challan for an already generated Challan Form saved under the Generated Challans tab.

You can schedule your tax payment from your bank account using the Net Banking facility. However, this facility is not available for online payment using a Credit / Debit Card.

3. Is there a time limit for making the payment after challan creation?

You are required to make the tax payment within 15 days from the generation of challan (i.e. 15 Days from the date of CRN generation). In the case of Advance Tax, you need to make the payment within 15 Days from the date of CRN generation or 31st March of the Current Financial Year, whichever is earlier.

4. What can I do if I am not able to see the authorized bank account through which I want to pay?

The list of banks integrated with e-Filing can be found on the Login with Net Banking page on the e-Filing portal.

7. Can I schedule payment through Net Banking?

Yes. However, it will depend on your chosen Bank Account as facility for scheduling payments through Net Banking is available on few bank accounts. In case you have chosen to schedule payment using Net Banking, please ensure you have sufficient balance in the selected bank account maintained, on the date of tax remittance.
