To avoid long queues and inconveniences for payment of income tax (IT) at the Reserve Bank counters, the Reserve Bank of India has appealed to the tax payers to utilise the services available at various branches of public sector banks in Mumbai and Navi Mumbai and deposit their income tax dues well in advance of the last date.

Income Tax Assessees can now pay advance income tax at any of the 820 branches of public sector banks and HDFC Bank at Mumbai and Navi Mumbai. The designated branches are authorised by the Income Tax Department to accept payment of income tax dues. Assessees are advised to take advantage of these standing arrangements made for their convenience.
