Amidst the tax filing season, JioFinance has restarted tax planning and Income Tax Return (ITR) filing services for its customers. This time, along with making tax filing more affordable, the company has also added the benefit of JioPoints Rewards. Now customers can file their ITR for just ₹24.
According to the company, users will get rewards up to 25 percent of their filing fees in the form of JioPoints. These points can be redeemed for various brand vouchers, shopping offers and partner deals through the app.
JioFinance has launched this service in partnership with TaxBuddy, a registered e-Return Intermediary (ERI) of the Income Tax Department. On this platform, users will get facilities like tax planning, ITR filing, tax saving options, comparison of different tax regimes and tracking refund status.
The company says that all the personal and financial information of taxpayers will remain completely safe. The data will be processed in TaxBuddy’s secure and encrypted system only for the purpose of ITR filing and JioFinance will not use this data for any other purpose at any stage.
Surbhe S., Chief Executive Officer, Jio Finance Platform and Services Limited. Sharma said that the company aims to make complex financial processes easy and accessible to everyone. He said that with the low cost, secure platform and JioPoints rewards, the tax filing experience has been made simpler and more profitable than ever before.
At the same time, TaxBuddy co-founder and Chief Technology Officer Srinivas Reddy said that this partnership will help people across the country to file ITR in a secure, simple and reliable manner.
Both DIY (self-filing) and expert-assisted options are available on the JioFinance app to suit different income groups and needs. DIY plans start at ₹24, while tax expert-assisted services start at ₹649.
