Bottom Line
Tax payments usually do not earn rewards on most credit cards, making this a useful targeted offer for eligible Axis Bank cardholders. If you have received the offer, consider making your tax payment through the eligible credit card to earn an additional 1% benefit, subject to the applicable cap. Do note that the minimum qualifying transaction must be a single payment of ₹10,000 or more to be eligible.
Usually, income tax payments made using a credit card also attract payment gateway or convenience charges. So, it’s always a good idea to calculate the overall value, including these charges, before deciding which credit card to use for the payment.
