During his inauguration speech, the former president of the United States of America, John F. Kennedy, famously said, “Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country.” Although he uttered the words back in January 1961, the timeless quote clearly explains why it’s necessary for each and every citizen of a democratic country to assume some responsibility to help the nation develop. As Indians, we should all find ways to contribute towards the welfare of our great country and demonstrate accountability. One of the easiest ways in which we can all be responsible citizens is by paying our taxes honestly.

We all know by now that paying our tax on time is crucial for the betterment of the country. That being said, the way we pay our income tax has radically changed over the past decade. With the quick growth of technology in the country, everything from ordering a pizza to finding a life partner and even buying groceries has become incredibly easy and convenient. Today, the internet has even revolutionised the way we pay our taxes. In fact, with a single online account, we can do everything from file our tax returns to check the notices sent to us and even pay pending dues.

But, before we talk about how to pay your tax online, let’s have a look at what Challan 280 is and how we can use it to pay our taxes.

What is Challan 280?

Challan 280 is a form that can be used by an individual to make an income tax payment of self-assessment tax, tax on distributed income and profit, regular assessment tax, advance tax, and surtax. The form is also referred to as ‘ITNS 280’.

You will need to use challan 280 to pay your taxes regardless of whether you’re making the payment online or offline. If you’ve chosen the offline route, you will need to take the form to a designated bank branch and then make the payment. On the other hand, if you’ve opted to make the payment online, you can visit the TIN NSDL website to complete the transaction.

How to Pay Your Income Tax Online with Challan 280?

  10. Type in the CAPTCHA code and then click the ‘Proceed’ button.
