RBI asks IT assesses in national capital to pay advance dues

New Delhi: The Reserve Bank of India said there is a rush for remitting income tax dues at the Reserve Bank and other bank authorised to collect income tax towards the end of March/June/September/December is heavy.

It becomes difficult for the RBI to cope up with the pressure of receipts although additional counters to the maximum extent possible are provided for the purpose, it added.

"Consequently, the public is required to wait in queues in the RBI for long periods. To obviate the inconvenience involved, assessees in the city are advised in their own interest to avoid last minute rush by remitting their income tax dues sufficiently in advance of the due date," it said. 

RBI said the assessees can also make online payment of their dues.
