Federal Bank Becomes India's First Bank To List Payment Gateway On New Tax Platform
News 18Federal Bank has become India’s first bank to list its Payment Gateway platform on the income tax department’s TIN 2.0 platform, which went live on July 1 this year. “With an increasing number of digital-first folks joining the workforce and scaling up of digital transactions across the ecosystem, we are sure that taxpayers will appreciate the convenience of tax payments brought forth by the Federal Bank by easing the process and providing multiple options.” Federal Bank in July partnered with the Central Board of Direct Taxes to assist taxpayers in making their payments through the e-pay tax facility in the e-filing portal of the income tax. The lender’s net profit in the June 2022 quarter jumped 63.5 per cent to Rs 601 crore, on a steep decline in money set aside for bad loans. Its core net interest income grew 13.1 per cent to Rs 1,605 crore during the reporting quarter on a 16 per cent advances growth and a 0.07 per cent expansion in the net interest margin to 3.22 per cent.
