JioFinance App Launches Smart Tax Module with TaxBuddy to Simplify ITR Filing for Indians

To bring unprecedented convenience to taxpayers in India, a feature-packed tax planning and filing module has been introduced on the JioFinance App.

Aimed at making tax planning and income tax return (ITR) filing simpler, smarter, and more affordable for the people of India, the new feature has been developed in partnership with TaxBuddy, an online tax filing and advisory service that offers taxpayers a guided, digital-first experience with built-in compliance and expert support.

The module includes two core features—Tax Planner and Tax Filing. The Tax Filing feature is designed to address common challenges such as confusion between old and new tax regimes, helping customers save taxes by ensuring deductions under sections like 80C and 80D are not missed, and eliminating over-reliance on costly intermediaries.

The Tax Planner helps individuals project and reduce their future tax liabilities by offering personalised deduction mapping, Housing Rent Allowance evaluation, and regime comparisons. The Tax Filing feature allows users to either file returns themselves, or opt for expert-assisted filing, with plans starting as low as ₹24 for self-service options, and ₹999 for assisted options.

Hitesh Sethia, Managing Director and CEO, Jio Financial Services Limited said, “With the deadline for filing taxes approaching, our goal is to remove the complexity that a lot of people associate with tax filing. It is equally important to empower customers with effective tax planning services, allowing them to optimise and maintain visibility over their tax liability through the financial year. The integration of this service with the JioFinance App will enable a seamless experience for tax transactions, backed by expert

support, clear insights, and transparent pricing. The launch of this module adds yet another dimension to our endeavour of delivering accessible, digital-first financial solutions that empower Indians everyday.”

Post their ITR filing, users can monitor their return status, track refunds, and receive alerts for any tax-related notices—all through the app.

The module is designed to be simple and intuitive, even for those with little or no prior tax filing or planning experience. From entering income details to uploading documents and selecting the right tax regime, the process is fully guided, making it easier than ever to plan and file taxes.

This launch adds another key pillar to the JioFinance App’s growing suite of offerings, consolidating its position as a one-stop digital destination, serving the diverse financial needs of customers.

ZebPay Partners With TaxNodes to Demystify Crypto Taxation for Indian Investors

Partnership to benefit Indian crypto investors seeking compliance and clarity on crypto tax matters

ZebPay, India’s oldest and most trusted crypto asset exchange today announced that it has partnered with TaxNodes, an expert-assisted ITR filing platform to simplify tax filing for virtual digital assets in India. As a result of this association, TaxNodes will provide assistance to ZebPay's extensive user community to ensure precise tax calculations and compliance, to keep them updated with the most recent tax-related developments in the virtual digital asset industry.

In 2022, the Indian government implemented a tax on investments in virtual digital assets, whereby any income gained from the transfer of such assets is now subject to a 30% tax and 1% TDS. The complexity of the new tax laws has led to considerable confusion among Indian retail investors and traders in India. Owing to this, there is a critical need to establish appropriate compliance infrastructure and enhance investor knowledge on how to file taxes correctly. Through this partnership, TaxNodes will enable ZebPay users to calculate, evaluate, and file their crypto taxes, alleviate misapprehensions and reduce the possibility of tax miscalculation. In addition to this, TaxNodes’ end-to-end solutions will help users get the much-needed clarity on the taxes levied on their investment, thereby simplifying the taxation journey of every crypto investor in the country.

With India's optimistic outlook towards the crypto market, and the emergence of new taxation infrastructure, the country is poised to become a key player in the global crypto market. The association between ZebPay and TaxNodes will help promote awareness about current and evolving regulations governing virtual digital assets. Apart from getting expert assistance on tax filing, ZebPay users will also receive personalized advisory services by TaxNodes, enabling them to better understand the tax implications of their digital asset investments. In addition, ZebPay users will be able to take advantage of discounted services through an exclusive offer.

Rahul Pagidipati, CEO, ZebPay, said, "At ZebPay, we are committed to creating a regulatory-compliant ecosystem that fosters the mainstream adoption of crypto in India. This partnership is a significant step towards achieving that goal and enabling greater collaboration between stakeholders in the crypto ecosystem. With 30% taxation and 1% TDS, calculation of taxation on crypto has become a complex process. Our partnership with TaxNodes will not only simplify the tax filing process for virtual digital assets and offer clarity to our users, but also offer personalized tax advisory services to our users at their fingertips."

Avinash Shekhar, Founder & CEO, TaxNodes said, "Our relationship with ZebPay goes a long way back and this partnership is a new chapter in that journey. We are excited to offer our end-to-end solutions to ZebPay’s customers and are confident that they will see value in our seamless tax computation process.
