The Income Tax Department has expanded its list of partner banks for e-Pay Tax services on the e-Filing portal. Now taxpayers in India can pay direct taxes through 31 banks across India. The Income Tax department has extended the deadline of filing ITR to September 15, 2025 from July 31, 2025.
As per the official list, the e-Pay Tax service now includes both public and private sector banks. Of the 31 banks, several banks have migrated to the new system, while others have been added as new entrants.
Taxpayers can now log in to the Income Tax e-Filing portal and make direct tax payments through Net Banking or Debit Cards using any of the listed banks. Direct tax payment refers to paying taxes directly to the government without involving any intermediary. These taxes are paid by the person or entity on whom it is levied, and they cannot be shifted to someone else.
