JioFinance has reintroduced its tax planning and income tax return (ITR) filing module for the current tax season, combining affordable pricing with rewards through its JioPoints programme. Starting at just ₹24 for self-filing, the platform offers a fully digital experience designed to simplify tax compliance for individuals across income categories.
Developed in partnership with TaxBuddy (SSBA Innovations Ltd), a registered E-Return Intermediary (ERI), the service includes both do-it-yourself and expert-assisted filing options. Users can access tools to evaluate the old and new tax regimes, identify eligible deductions under sections such as 80C and 80D, and track the status of their returns and refunds. Those opting for expert-assisted filing receive support from dedicated tax professionals, along with complimentary notice management for returns filed through the platform.
Adding to the offering this year, users can earn JioPoints worth up to 25 per cent of their filing fee, which can be redeemed within the JioFinance app for brand vouchers, shopping deals and partner offers.
Surbhe S Sharma, Chief Executive Officer, Jio Finance Platform and Service Limited, said, “Our goal with JioFinance has always been to simplify complex financial tasks and give users complete control of their financial well-being. With our extremely accessible and affordable tax module, we are removing the traditional friction and high costs of ITR filing. Combined with a rewarding JioPoints structure and a privacy-by-design framework, we are delivering an experience that is not just efficient, but thoroughly secure and rewarding.”
The platform also places strong emphasis on data privacy. Taxpayer information is processed solely within TaxBuddy’s encrypted and regulated ERI framework for the purpose of filing tax returns and is not accessed or used by JioFinance for any other purpose.
Commenting on the partnership, Srinivas Reddy, Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer, TaxBuddy, said, “This partnership with JioFinance will enable ordinary Indians to file their taxes seamlessly, securely, and with confidence, powered by TaxBuddy’s regulated ERI framework.”
