Get your ICICI CIB tax payments and statements by API

Read the debit advices in Tax Payment Inquiry, the status of each Bulk Direct Tax file and your account statement from ICICI CIB with one API call each. A workflow can hand each day's tax debits, with their CIN, to accounting every evening.

Works with your own ICICI Corporate Internet Banking account. Fous is an independent product.

Automate CIB with a workflow

A workflow runs your methods as one process, with nobody at the screen. A schedule or a call from your own system starts it, the steps run in order, and the result arrives in your inbox or in the systems you already use.

  • Each day's tax debits, with CIN, handed to accounting

    Build this
    Starts
    Every weekday at 19:00
    Step 1
    Get today's tax payment advices for Direct Tax, then for GST.
    Step 2
    Stop when there are none.
    Step 3
    Post date, tax type, account, amount, CIN and CPIN to your accounting system's webhook.
  • Status changes of the day's Bulk Direct Tax files, emailed

    Build this
    Starts
    Every hour
    Step 1
    Check the status of the Bulk Direct Tax files uploaded today.
    Step 2
    Keep the files whose status changed since the last run.
    Step 3
    Email you each changed file, so the checker sees what reached the approver tray.
  • Yesterday's statement lines, posted to your ERP

    Build this
    Starts
    Every weekday at 8:00
    Step 1
    For each current account you name, get yesterday's account statement.
    Step 2
    Keep the lines that were not there on the last run.
    Step 3
    Post them with date, description, reference, debit, credit and balance to your ERP webhook.

You can run a workflow by hand on every plan, Free included. Schedules and webhook triggers come with the paid plans, from $29 a month.

Once built, one call from your code

Once you have built a method, it is one POST to /v1/runs from your backend, or a tool an AI agent calls over MCP. This is what “Get tax payment advices” would look like.

Example request
curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "cibnext.icici.bank.in/get_tax_payment_advices",
    "input": {
      "from_date": "2026-11-07",
      "to_date": "2026-11-07",
      "tax_type": "Direct Tax"
    }
  }'
Example response
{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "payments": [
      {
        "payment_date": "2026-11-07",
        "tax_type": "Direct Tax",
        "debit_account": "XXXXXXXX4821",
        "amount": 184250,
        "currency": "INR",
        "cin": "00000110711202600017",
        "cpin": null,
        "status": "Success"
      }
    ],
    "count": 1
  }
}

An example with invented data, not a ready-made endpoint. The method exists in your organization once you build it, and its name, inputs and fields follow your request.

Signing in to CIB

CIB signs each user in with their own Login ID and password at cibnext.icici.bank.in, and payments are approved by a checker with an OTP, or a Grid Card for GST bulk payments. With Fous you sign in once through CIB's own sign-in with your own Login ID. The login is sealed with AES-256 and never shown to code or AI agents, and a method does only what your user may do.

Worth knowing

Bulk tax files are not ready at once
After a Bulk Direct Tax file is uploaded, CIB takes about 5 to 45 minutes to generate the CRNs before the file moves to the approver tray. Check the status in View uploaded file details.
Uploads have a daily window
Bulk Direct Tax file uploads are accepted only between 4 AM and 10 PM on working days, and ICICI says the timings may change on tax due dates.
Limits per file and per approval
A Bulk Direct Tax file holds up to 199 payments, for minor codes 100, 200 and 300 only. A checker approves up to 100 portal-initiated tax payments at once, and up to 100 GST challans at a time.
The challan copy is on the e-Filing portal
CIB gives the debit advice, which carries the CIN. The challan copy itself is downloaded from the income tax e-Filing portal under e-Pay Tax and Payment History.
