Currently, the most discussed topic after budget is new no dispute but trust scheme i.e. ‘Vivad Se Vishwas’. As per this scheme the taxpayer would have to pay the full amount of the disputed tax in return of complete waiver of interest and penalty, if he opts for the scheme before the end of this fiscal year and those who avail this scheme after 31st March, 2020 will have to pay some additional amount.

Some Frequently Asked Questioned regarding tax payment:

1. Whether it is mandatory to pay tax online?

It is mandatory for the following types of assesses to pay tax online with effect from April 1,2008.

  • All the corporate assesses.
  • All assesses (other than company) to who the provisions of section 44AB of the Income Tax Act, 1961 are applicable.

2. How can I use this facility to pay income tax?

You can use the facility if –

  • You have a bank account with Net-banking/Debit card of the selected Bank, and
  • Your bank provides the e- payment facility.

3. If I encountered any error on e-tax portal while making e-tax payment what should I do?

If encountered any error on e-tax website kindly contact TIN call centre at 020 – 27218080 or write to us at  (Please indicate the subject of the mail as Online Payment of Direct Tax ).

4. What if my account gets debited twice for the same e-Tax transaction?

If during the transaction, or after completing the transaction bank site encountered any error or get disconnected before generating Taxpayer counterfoil, then instead of doing the same transaction again, kindly check your account. If account has been debited, then contact your bank for the taxpayer’s counterfoil. Please note that, in the above case, do not make the same transaction again which results in account being debited more than once for the same e-tax transaction.

    i have to pay the fee for registration as a valuer. This fee is to be paid by income tax challan. Which challan should I use? If challan 280, then type of payment will be (300) Self assessment tax or (400) Tax on regular assessment? If payment mode is 400, then why online payment it is not accepting Assessment year 2016-17? On NSDL site faq mode 400 is recommended for miscellaneous payment while in pdf copy of challan 280 on income tax department website, mode 300 is suggested for same payment? – See more at: https://taxguru.in/about/#comment-1736705

  6. CA Heeralal Agarwal says:

    is this mention that 300(self assessment tax should be use under type of tax payment ,how we can self assesse because self assessment tax is payment of tax not of any fees or other payment,when we appeal against assessment order and in result of assessment we file appeal then why we should not choose 400 regular assessment tax.

    Please clarify.

  7. Ghanshyam Jha says:

    still confused. If we refer NSDL site it would be ’400 Regular Tax’ under ‘Type of Payment’ or if we refer chalan help/instruction than ‘300 Self Assessment ‘ under ‘Type of Payment ‘
