<h1>RBI Advises Early Income Tax Payments to Avoid Last-Minute Congestion Before September 30 Deadline.</h1> The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has urged the public to pay their income tax dues well before the September 30, 2013 deadline to avoid last-minute congestion. Taxpayers are advised to utilize the services of accredited agency banks authorized to accept income tax payments, many of which offer online payment options. The RBI has experienced heavy traffic towards the end of September, leading to long wait times despite opening additional counters. The banks authorized for tax payments in Mumbai include Allahabad Bank, Bank of Baroda, Canara Bank, and several others, totaling 29 institutions.
