Transforming Tax Payments: Chhattisgarh Welcomes Card & UPI for GST

The Chhattisgarh government has launched a pivotal reform in its tax administration, allowing taxpayers to pay Goods and Services Tax (GST) using credit cards, debit cards, and UPI. This significant development addresses long-standing grievances from the business sector regarding the restrictive nature of earlier payment methods, primarily net banking. With the new system, accessible through the official GST portal, tax filing becomes more convenient, transparent, and secure. Finance Minister OP Choudhary highlighted that this move aligns with the government’s objective to enhance the ease of doing business and promote digital governance. By embracing these modern payment technologies, Chhattisgarh aims to improve tax compliance, boost revenue collection, and solidify its position as a leader in efficient and citizen-centric digital tax services in India.
