With only a day remaining before the deadline to submit income tax returns for fiscal 2020-21, the National Board of Revenue yesterday requested individuals to clear tax payment through banks by today as the lenders will remain closed tomorrow.

All sorts of banking activities will remain shut on December 31 as it is a bank holiday, the NBR said in a press release.

The deadline for submission of income tax return for individual taxpayers was extended by one month on November 30, the official deadline for filing income statements. The deadline ends on December 31, 2020.
