Managing taxes can be a complex and time-consuming process, especially for business owners and entrepreneurs. It can be challenging to keep track of all the payments, deadlines, and tax-related paperwork. One way to simplify your tax management is to use a current account for your tax payments.

It provides various features, including cheque books, overdraft facilities, and online banking, that can make managing your finances easier. Here is the step by step guide on how you can use a current account for your tax payments:

Step 3: Set Up Auto-Payments

Step 6: Take Advantage of Overdraft Facility
If you face a cash flow issue and cannot make your tax payments on time, you can use the overdraft facility provided with your current account. The overdraft facility on IndusInd Bank Current Accounts comes with very nominal interest charges so use it without hesitating.
Step 7: Use Mobile Banking Apps
