Chennai:
Bharat Overseas Bank (BOBL), a city-based private bank,
has been authorised by the Central Board of Direct Taxes

As a result BOBL will prepare the income tax returns for eligible taxpayers who approaches with details of their income along with supporting documents on verification of the permanent account number (PAN).
An e-return is defined as electronically transmitted data of the income furnished under the scheme duly supported by a duly signed paper return of the income. The bank will transcribe the data from the paper return of income of the taxpayer, in a prescribed electronic format and transmit the same to the designated server of the income-tax department.
