National, 10 July, 2026: PhonePe today announced the launch of a comprehensive ‘Tax Filing’ feature on its platform. Built to simplify tax compliance for individuals, freelancers, and small businesses alike, this feature allows millions of PhonePe users to seamlessly file their Income Tax Returns (ITR) and manage monthly GST compliances directly within the app’s trusted ecosystem.
