Need Suggestion: Best CC for tax payment 2025

[diptarkaroy]

Hello guys,

I'm a salaried person and need to pay around 2.8L IT on top of my monthly TDS.

Being a salaried person, I don't have HDFC BizBlack and other Biz cards. I got to know I can't apply for Amex Plat travel card now due to restriction.

I have the below cards:
Axis Atlas, Airtel, Kiwi
HDFC Swiggy
BOB Premier
Fed Celesta
ICICI Sapphiro and Apay
PNB RSCC
Yes Marquee
IDFC Wealth and PP
HSBC Live+
SBI CB
Roarbank

Please suggest the best one I can use to pay this amount, or should I go for normal UPI payment?

Also, please suggest if I can apply for a new card which could be beneficial for this!!!

Thank you for your attention to this matter!!! 😎

Bumping this as same query.

Yes Bank Marquee gives 1.25% reward rate - which after gateway payment charges for cc get reduced to 0.25-0.35%. Thays assuming you redeem for flight/hotels which value 1 Rp at 0.25 INR

EDIT - Yes Bank Marquee no longer gives reward points on Tax payments starting Feb 2025.

UNSURE IF Axis atlas counts tax for milestones - Axis usually excludes these

Idfc wealth via debit card is what I’m ideating. Via cc its barely 0.5% I assume, which doesnt offset the gateway charges.

Atlas doesn’t count that for milestone
