Indiaemploymentnews | August 11, 2025 7:39 PM CST

Taxpayers in India now have a simpler, faster, and more affordable way to file their Income Tax Returns (ITR). Jio Financial Services has introduced a new tax filing and management module within the Jio Finance App, offering services starting at just ₹24.

Developed in partnership with TaxBuddy — a well-known platform for online tax filing and advisory services — this new module aims to remove the complexity around filing taxes, whether under the old or new regime.

Two Core Features: Tax Filing and Tax Planning

The newly launched module offers two primary tools:

  • Tax Filing – Designed to eliminate confusion between the old and new tax regimes, this feature helps users calculate their tax liabilities under various sections like 80C and 80D and identify potential tax savings. The process is user-friendly and budget-friendly, eliminating the need for expensive intermediaries.

  • Tax Planner – A forward-looking tool that helps estimate future tax liabilities and suggests ways to reduce them. Users can either file their returns themselves or opt for assisted filing with an expert.

  • The self-filing option on the app starts at ₹24, while expert-assisted filing services begin at ₹999.

    Why This is a Game-Changer for Taxpayers

    With tax season deadlines approaching, many individuals face stress, confusion, and unnecessary costs. Jio Finance’s integration with TaxBuddy brings an affordable, digital-first solution that combines convenience with accuracy.

    Whether it’s calculating deductions, ensuring the correct tax regime is selected, or managing supporting documents, the app offers a step-by-step guided process that even first-time filers can follow easily.

    Company’s Vision Behind the Launch

    Hitesh Sethia, Managing Director and CEO of Jio Financial Services Limited, explained the goal behind the launch:

    “As the ITR filing deadline nears, our aim is to remove all complexities associated with tax filing. Equally important is to provide customers with effective tax planning services, enabling them to understand and manage their tax liabilities throughout the financial year. With this launch, we’ve added another dimension to our mission of delivering accessible, digital-first financial solutions.”

    Beyond Filing: Complete Post-Submission Tracking

    The app isn’t just for filing taxes — it also helps users:

    • Monitor return status after submission

    • Track refunds in real time

    • Receive alerts for any tax-related notices

    From entering income details to uploading documents and selecting the right tax structure, the entire process is streamlined. The app guides the user at every step to ensure a smooth experience.

    Affordable Digital Finance for Everyone

    The ₹24 starting price makes this one of the most affordable tax filing solutions in the market. It significantly lowers the barrier for individuals, especially those filing returns with simple income sources, and helps them avoid overpaying for professional services.

    With India rapidly embracing digital finance, Jio Finance’s move taps into the growing demand for quick, secure, and cost-effective solutions. For salaried individuals, freelancers, and small business owners alike, this app could make tax season far less daunting.

    In short — if you’ve been putting off your ITR filing due to high costs or complicated processes, this could be the easiest and cheapest way to get it done before the deadline.
