GST Payments Go Digital: Chhattisgarh Now Accepts Cards & UPI

In a significant stride towards digital governance, the Chhattisgarh government has officially enabled credit card, debit card, and UPI payments for Goods and Services Tax (GST) returns. This much-anticipated reform caters to the persistent requests from various business associations and trade bodies, which had pointed out the inconveniences of the previous net banking-only system. Taxpayers can now conveniently utilize their preferred digital payment methods via the GST portal, www.gst.gov.in. This enhancement is expected to reduce transaction complexities, minimize delays caused by technical glitches, and foster greater transparency in tax administration. The government’s commitment to modernizing tax procedures is evident, aiming to create a more accessible and secure payment environment for all businesses operating in the state. This reform is poised to improve departmental efficiency and contribute to Chhattisgarh’s economic growth through enhanced digital tax infrastructure.
