The Reserve Bank of India has appealed to public to avoid last minute rush and remit their Income-tax dues sufficiently in advance of the due date of September 30, 2013. It has also urged the assessees to take advantage of paying taxes at select branches of accredited agency banks which have been authorised to accept payments of Income Tax dues. Most of these banks also provide facilities for on-line payment of taxes, it has added.
The rush for remitting Income Tax dues through the Reserve Bank of India has been far too heavy towards the end of September and it becomes difficult for the Reserve Bank to cope with the pressure of receipts despite opening additional counters to the maximum extent possible for the purpose. Consequently, members of public are required to wait in queues at the Reserve Bank for unnecessarily long periods.
