Challan 280

Challan 280 is a form available on the official website of Income Tax India. This challan can be used to make online payment of income tax. The challan can be filed online or can be submitted offline as well to pay the tax.

Manual payments are getting outdated in the digital era and certain types of taxpayers are now required to mandatorily pay income tax through online modes only. However, taxpayers can still remit offline income tax payment through banks along with Challan 280.
