Say goodbye to hassles and hello to convenience! Now, making GST payments is a breeze with your debit and credit cards. Pay, and stay focused on what matters most — your business!
A Welcome Change for Taxpayers
The GST portal now accepts payments through debit and credit cards, making it significantly easier to clear your tax dues on time. No more rushing to the bank or dealing with complex NEFT/RTGS transfers just to pay your GST.
How It Works
- Log in to the GST portal (www.gst.gov.in)
- Navigate to Services → Payments → Create Challan
- Enter the tax amounts under the relevant heads (CGST, SGST, IGST)
- Select Debit Card / Credit Card as the payment mode
- Complete the payment through the secure payment gateway
Benefits
- Instant Processing — No waiting for bank transfers to clear
- 24/7 Availability — Pay anytime, anywhere without bank branch visits
- Credit Period — Use credit cards to get up to 45 days of additional float
- Reward Points — Earn reward points or cashback on credit card payments
- Digital Receipts — Instant payment confirmation and challan generation
Things to Keep in Mind
- Transaction limits may apply depending on your bank and card type
- Convenience fees of 1-2% may be charged by some payment gateways
- Ensure your card is enabled for online transactions
- Always download the challan immediately after payment for your records
Tip: Compare the convenience fee against the credit card reward points — in many cases, the rewards offset the fees!
