## Automate CIB with a workflow

A [workflow](/product/workflows) 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

Starts: Every weekday at 19:00

1. Get today's tax payment advices for Direct Tax, then for GST.
2. Stop when there are none.
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

Starts: Every hour

1. Check the status of the Bulk Direct Tax files uploaded today.
2. Keep the files whose status changed since the last run.
3. Email you each changed file, so the checker sees what reached the approver tray.

### Yesterday's statement lines, posted to your ERP

Starts: Every weekday at 8:00

1. For each current account you name, get yesterday's account statement.
2. Keep the lines that were not there on the last run.
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](/product/methods), 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.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does ICICI Corporate Internet Banking have an API?

Yes, through the bank: ICICI offers Corporate Net Banking APIs and Host-to-Host integration to connect your ERP for payments, collections and reconciliation. They are arranged with ICICI Bank, and their conditions and prices are not published. CIB itself gives downloadable reports, Reverse MIS and SMS or email confirmations.

### Where do I find the CIN of a tax paid through CIB?

On the debit advice. In CIB, open Tax/EPFO/ESIC, then Tax Payment Inquiry, enter a date range, choose Direct Tax or GST, search, select the payments and download the advice. The challan copy itself comes from the e-Filing portal.

### How many payments can one Bulk Direct Tax file hold?

Up to 199, for minor codes 100 (Advance Tax), 200 (TDS/TCS) and 300 (Self-Assessment) only. TDS on property under 26QB, 26QC and 26QD is paid on the e-Filing portal instead. A maker can cancel a file before it is verified.

### How does accounting software link to an ICICI current account?

Through Connected Banking, set up with your relationship manager. One partner's guide lists a Connected Banking Agreement, a setup sheet, a CA-signed SSL certificate, UAT and sign-off. You then enter your Corporate ID and User ID in the partner's software and approve the link in CIB.

### Is Fous affiliated with ICICI Bank?

No. Fous is an independent product. You use it with your own CIB Login ID, and a method reads and does only what that user can.

Fous is an independent product: it is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by the operator of ICICI Corporate Internet Banking (ICICI Bank). The name is used only to say which system this page is about. Something here wrong or out of date? Write to legal@fous.com.
