Tax filing and planning now made simpler with this new feature on the JioFinance app
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 Rs.24 for self-service options, and Rs.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.
