Kotak Bank gets approval from the government to collect direct and indirect taxes

Kotak Mahindra Bank Limited (KMBL) has announced that it has received approvals from the Government of India for the collection of direct and indirect taxes such as income tax and goods and services tax through its banking network.

With this, the bank becomes the first scheduled private sector bank to receive approval after the announcement by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman allowing all banks to participate in the government-related business.

After technical integration, KMBL customers will be able to pay their direct and indirect taxes straight from KMBL’s mobile banking or net banking platforms as well as through KMBL’s branch banking network, resulting in immense ease and convenience for customers.
