Chhattisgarh has revolutionized GST return filing by introducing credit card, debit card, and UPI payment options. This significant move, championed by Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai and Finance Minister OP Choudhary, directly addresses the long-standing appeals of the state’s business community. Previously, taxpayers were limited to net banking or over-the-counter payments, often leading to transaction failures and delays, particularly for new and small businesses.
The new digital payment gateway, accessible via the official GST portal (www.gst.gov.in), promises a more convenient, transparent, and user-friendly experience. Finance Minister OP Choudhary stated that this reform underscores the government’s commitment to enhancing the ease of doing business, reducing reliance on intermediaries, and fostering digital governance.
With robust security measures in place, taxpayers can now enjoy a seamless and efficient payment process. The administration aims to create a trust-based tax ecosystem, minimize compliance hurdles, and boost departmental efficiency and revenue collection. This modernization positions Chhattisgarh as a frontrunner in digital tax administration within India, promoting economic development and improving taxpayer services statewide.
