What they do

PhonePe is a digital payments and financial services platform used by one in three Indians

It launched a tax filing feature for ITR and GST, co-developed with TaxBuddy, starting at Rs 24

The move adds tax compliance to PhonePe's existing suite of lending, insurance, and investment services

PhonePe launched a Tax Filing feature for ITR (income tax return) and GST (goods and services tax) filing within its app.
The feature was co-developed with TaxBuddy, a digital tax compliance platform.
Self-filing of returns starts at Rs 24.
Expert-assisted tax filing plans are also available.
Monthly GST filing is offered for small merchants.
PhonePe already offers lending, insurance distribution, stock broking, mutual funds, and an app store.

PhonePe is expanding its financial services beyond payments and investments into tax compliance.
The partnership with TaxBuddy lets PhonePe offer tax filing without building the expertise in-house.
Adding tax filing could increase user engagement and stickiness on the platform.
