The bank is now authorised for the collection of Direct and Indirect Taxes on behalf of the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) and the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC).

The Bank has formally launched collections of Direct Taxes (Income Tax/ Advance Tax) now whereby all of our customers can pay Direct Taxes (Income Tax/ Advance Tax) at their convenience through Internet Banking facility or through any Branch of Karnataka Bank with multiple payment option of Cash/Transfer/Clearing modes within the limits prescribed by the CBDT. This is the beginning of our journey to undertake Govt business that will expand to other Central and State Govt Departments and our digital participation in India stack and the newly developed OCEN & ONDC platforms”
