<h1>RBI Advises Taxpayers to Pay Dues Early, Avoid Queues; Use Banks or Online for Convenience by December.</h1> The Reserve Bank of India urges income tax assessees to pay their dues well in advance of the deadline to avoid long queues at RBI offices. Assessees are encouraged to use alternate channels such as select branches of 29 authorized agency banks or online payment facilities to ease the end-of-year rush. This measure aims to alleviate the pressure on RBI during the peak period in December. The list of authorized banks includes major institutions like State Bank of India, HDFC Bank, and ICICI Bank, among others.
