PhonePe partnered with Paytm

PhonePe has partnered with digital B2B payments and service provider PayMate to enable this feature. Taxpayers can choose to pay their taxes using their credit card or UPI. With credit card payments, users also get an interest-free period of 45 days and earn reward points on their tax payments, depending on their bank. Once the payment is made, taxpayers will receive a Unique Transaction Reference (UTR) number as an acknowledgment within one working day. The invoice for tax payment will be available within two working days, PhonePe said in a statement.
