To provide greater convenience to tax payers, the Reserve Bank of India on Friday said all designated branches of agency banks as well as its own offices conducting government business will keep their counters open for full day on March 30 and till 8.00 pm on March 31. In order to facilitate government receipts and payments, necessary arrangements have been made to conduct special clearing operations across the country, the RBI said in a statement. Centralised payment systems such as the Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) and National Electronic Funds Transfer (NEFT) will also be operational on both the days with extended business hours.
