Which would be the best credit card for tax payment?

[arjunking]

I have a tax payment due this month so I am trying to figure out which credit card I should use to earn the max rewards.
Currently I have come up with the following:
BOB Eterna : 3.75% but capped at 5000 points
AMEX payback : 4% in taj gift vouchers (₹12,000 gift voucher on spend of ₹3,00,000) but it requires a convenience fee of 0.55% and reward is in form of gift voucher
AU LIT : 2.5% by activation 10X rewards on online purchase (Need to confirm if 10x is valid on tax payments)
IDFC Select : 2% with 10X rewards (Need to confirm is 10x is valid on tax payment)
Flipkart axis : 1.5%

I guess SC ultimate/ HDFC infinia / axis magnus would have been the best option but I doubt I would be able to get those before the end of the month.

Please share your suggestions

I don't think tax payments are permitted from credit card

Yeah, even I think ITR doesn't have option to pay from credit card.

now you can pay tax with credit card also. They charge around 1% charge for that.

I paid around 10 days through Kotak gateway and there were no credit card charges through that. Paid the amount through Magnus and point also got credited.

We need to identify cards which give rewards on tax payment.

I verified for Axis Magnus using hdfc gateway (payu). I got the points.

What other cards allow IT payment related rewards?

1) Magnus - verified 1.2% + 5% milestone
2) IDFC wealth - untested
3) IDFC select/ Millennia - unverified
4) Eterna - devalued (low points)
5) Axis Flipkart - unverified
6) Axis Ace - 2%

What tax did you pay? GST or IT? Can you elaborate on the process?

I got 1.5% cashaback. If you use Canara bank gateway then net cashback will be around 1%. I paid advance tax as well as penalty of aadhar-pan link.

I paid IT. From the IT website, choose tax payment and select the gateway you want. Canara has lowest but is offline sometimes. HDFC used payu and that is what I used.

I got 2% with ace. Don't think bob eterna will give 3.75%

Has anyone tested idfc wealth and au lit card

Has anyone tested idfc wealth and au lit card

IDFC gives 1.5% points (Paid 4 lac adv tax)
HDFC payment gateway charged 0.95% and i pay through HDFC platinum debit card to get 1%

So net gain is 6,000/-
