PhonePe today announced the launch of a comprehensive ‘Tax Filing’ feature on its platform. Built to simplify tax compliance for individuals, freelancers, and small businesses alike, this feature allows millions of PhonePe users to seamlessly file their Income Tax Returns (ITR) and manage monthly GST compliances directly within the app’s trusted ecosystem.
Launched in partnership with TaxBuddy, one of India’s leading digital tax compliance platforms, this feature offers an integrated suite of services. This includes independent self-filing starting at ₹24, expert-assisted plans for complex tax scenarios, and monthly GST filing for small merchants. This native experience eliminates the need to visit external portals by providing end-to-end compliance tools, such as dedicated expert support for ITR optimization and seamless ongoing GST filing, all conveniently accessible alongside day-to-day financial utilities on the app.
Commenting on the launch, Niharika Saigal, Head of In-App Categories at PhonePe, said, “At PhonePe, we are committed to building a frictionless financial ecosystem that addresses the core utility needs of our users. By democratizing access to expert tax advice and affordable filing solutions, we aim to empower our users —from salaried professionals to neighborhood merchants—to manage their tax filing with ease and confidence.”
Srinivas Reddy, CoFounder, CTO at Taxbuddyadded, “We are pleased to partner with PhonePe to bring our AI-driven, expert-assisted tax services to users across India. This integration is aligned with our goal of making quality tax guidance and filing support accessible at scale.”
Here’s how users can access the feature in 3 simple steps:
- Step 1: Open the PhonePe app and scroll to the ‘Recharge & Pay Bills’ section
- Step 2: Under the ‘Utilities and Others’ sub-heading, tap on ‘File ITR’
- Step 3: Select your preferred mode — self-filing, expert-assisted, or monthly GST filing — to get started
