This discussion addresses the treatment of credit card transactions, specifically when an insurance agent pays premiums with their own card and is reimbursed. Experts confirm that paying premiums via credit card is generally acceptable and does not require further clarification with the income tax department, provided payment receipts are retained. The conversation also touches upon clarifying high-value transactions through the E-Campaign portal.

No issues if paid through credit card. No more clarification required to income tax dept against paid through credit card. Collect payment receipt for the Due payment.
