Tax filing used to sit outside the fintech journey. A user earned salary in one app, invested through another, received interest from a bank, downloaded reports separately, checked AIS and Form 26AS on the income tax portal, and then filed the return elsewhere. That model is changing. Fintech users now expect financial apps to help with the tax impact of the activity happening inside those apps. A payroll platform is expected to support Form 16 and ITR filing. A wealth platfo

Financial platforms now sit closer to the user’s tax and compliance life than ever before. Payroll apps hold salary and TDS context. Wealth apps hold investment and capital gains context. Banking apps hold interest and TDS visibility. Gig platforms hold payout and income records. But many of these platforms still handle compliance as a separate activity. Users are asked to download reports, move to another portal, upload documents again, check AIS separately, review Form 26AS

As a taxpayer, you should be aware of the documentation related to income tax to avoid any mistakes or misses. Form 26AS or tax credit statement is among the most crucial documents for tax filing.

Many financial apps are excellent at showing transactions, balances, salary, investments, payouts, and reports. But the user’s financial journey rarely ends there. Salary leads to TDS and Form 16. Investments lead to capital gains and AIS entries. Bank interest may appear in Form 26AS and AIS. Gig payouts may create income reporting and advance tax questions. The missing layer in many financial apps is tax infrastructure. API-first tax infrastructure helps fintech platforms c

India’s investment landscape has undergone a revolution over the past decade. The BSE equity market has surged to ₹470 Lakh Crore as of October 2025 and mutual fund AUM has increased to 79 Lakh Crore as of September 2025 as per a SEBI Investor Survey Report. As the number of investors and funds invested increase, investment apps and wealth platforms are no longer competing only on trading access, portfolio visibility, or UX and UI.

White‑label ITR filing is a strategic business tool that transforms any financial services platform into a scalable retention and engagement engine. The number of filed Income Tax Returns has increased from 4.3 Crore in 2015-16 to approximately 9.19 Crore in 2024-25, demonstrating the expansion of taxpayers in India. By embedding tax‑filing capabilities under their own brand, companies can offer customers a high‑value, trust‑building service without the operational overhead o

In today’s rapidly evolving HR landscape, enterprise-level organisations face a constant challenge of handling complex tax-filing requirements of their employees, while ensuring compliance with ever-changing regulatory standards. What may seem like a straightforward and seasonal task for employees can be a recurring pressure for HR and finance teams throughout the year. Added to this, more than 40% of organisations in India have a tax-inefficient salary structure, as per a s

Fintech apps started by solving narrow financial tasks. One app helped users invest. Another helped them track salary. Another helped them manage bank accounts. Another helped gig workers see payouts. But users no longer think of their financial lives in separate product categories. Salary affects TDS. Investments affect capital gains. Interest income appears in AIS. Documents are needed for ITR filing, loans, visas, and income proof. This is why fintech apps are becoming fin
