The Income Tax Department has expanded the list of banks available on the e-Filing portal's e-Pay Tax service to 31. This list includes both public and private sector banks, comprising newly added institutions as well as those that have migrated to the new payment platform.
The e-Pay Tax service, accessible through the Income Tax Department's e-Filing portal, enables taxpayers to make seamless tax payments, including advance tax, self-assessment tax, TDS, and more. As of June 27, 2025, the service includes participation from several prominent banks like State Bank of India, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, Axis Bank, and newly onboarded banks such as Yes Bank, Dhanlaxmi Bank and IDFC First Bank.
Why This Matters for Taxpayers
The expansion ensures wider accessibility across India's banking network, allowing users to select from a broader range of financial institutions while fulfilling their tax obligations. This also supports the government's push for digitalization and ease of doing business.
