PhonePe launches tax filing feature for ITR and GST compliance on its app

New Delhi, July 10 (TNT): Digital payments platform PhonePe on Friday announced the launch of a comprehensive ‘Tax Filing’ feature on its app, enabling individuals, freelancers and small businesses to file Income Tax Returns (ITR) and manage monthly GST compliances through a single platform.

The feature has been launched in partnership with TaxBuddy, a digital tax compliance platform, and offers users access to self-filing services starting at Rs 24, expert-assisted plans for complex tax requirements, and monthly GST filing support for small merchants.

In a release, PhonePe said the new service provides an integrated tax compliance experience by eliminating the need to access multiple external portals.

Users can avail expert assistance for ITR optimisation and manage regular GST filing requirements alongside other financial services available on the app.

Commenting on the launch, Niharika Saigal, Head of In-App Categories at PhonePe, said the initiative aims to simplify tax compliance by providing affordable filing solutions and expert guidance to users ranging from salaried professionals to small merchants.

TaxBuddy Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer Srinivas Reddy said the partnership would help extend AI-driven and expert-assisted tax services to users across India and make quality tax support accessible at scale.

Users can access the feature through the PhonePe app by navigating to the ‘Recharge & Pay Bills’ section, selecting ‘File ITR’ under the ‘Utilities and Others’ category, and choosing their preferred option from self-filing, expert-assisted filing or monthly GST filing.

PhonePe Limited is a technology company offering digital platforms across payments, digital distribution services and financial services.
