Best credit cards for taxes payment (like GST and income tax)?

With the recent devaluations to axis bank cards i'm in search of a new credit card for tax payments? I want to pay taxes using direct government websites and not gateways like phonepe etc
Also I have no included amex CC in discussion as I don't think they are accepted directly on government portals.

I have come across two which i found to be lucrative.

  1. SBI vistara card - 4CV points per 200 spend (2%). Payments processing fee when using income tax website around .91% so effective reward rate of 1% in case ur able to extract 1:1 on miles.
  2. HSBC Premier card- Redeemable at 4 transfer partners in 1:1 reward ratio. I would have gotten this but only catch is there's no branch in my city and you need to have a premier account with them.
  3. Can someone suggest any better cards out there?

Standard Charted Smart Credit card is a cashback CC with 2% cashback with limit of Rs1000 per month. Recently this CC has devalued as the redeem criteria is minimum 2500 , so that wait time is pretty high.

will Standard Charted block the card for using it for business/GST payment?
