Best credit card for income tax payment?

[Harrypro]

Which card should I go for to pay 6L of advance tax as a salaried person this financial year? I was hoping to go for Amex trifecta but they haven't started applications for them yet.

1. Give me a list of cards by top priority based on benefit ratio.
(something like an order of it : biz black > Amex Plat > times black > scb > idfc wealth select debit card etc etc)

While many others have answered in terms of cards & benefits, please note that if you have a one-time tax payment (like 15l at one go for capital gains), your rewards will be quite low, atleast on HDFC Biz Black. This is since the charges will apply on entire amount but total rewards & accelerated rewards are capped per month.

Therefore, Biz Black is more beneficial if you breakup & pay every month as against a big amount in one month.

Is sbi giving 5 percent on advance tax as well and beyond 15th September as well?

hey @Wealth is my birth right!

any recommendations ( for paying taxes) after exhausting monthly Bizblack and yearly amex-plat-travel ?

I currently just stick with bizblack to get the 3.3% ( non-accelerated base rewards ) on surplus IT payment. also it gets me all the milestones . was chasing another card that might be more beneficial to throw in the mix.

I hold standard chartered ultimate for unlimited 2% on income tax purposes

@Wealth is my birth right! wont that be worse than base 3.33% on bizblack ?

2% unlimited - gateway_charge => ~1%

When i login to the Income Tax portal, what PG should be selected to pay using AMEX credit cards. I wanted to check if AMEX cards are accepted before applying for Platinum Travel, so i used my Rewards, and i saw that when i selected HDFC and Federal PG's, AMEX was not accepted
