Dealers who have not yet availed the internet banking account for paying taxes or their organization yet and make the TNVAT payments through branches of 3 banks all over Tamil Nadu. The added benefit of simply using the e-pay-in-slip (Challan) based system is the fact that then the dealer does not have to visit circle offices for making the payments. Cash, cheques and demand drafts are accepted as mode of payments the banks. Also the risk of interest or penalty, caused by cheques dishonored or being lost or remitted late will no longer be an issue.
There are 9 branches of the following three banks who accept the TNVAT payments including:

Steps for Counter Payment of TN VAT:
This is how you make the TNVAT payments offline or at the bank branches:
- As a Dealer you need to first file and confirm e-Return for the month just as you would do otherwise.
- Payment details entry screen will be naturally disabled in the efiling part for the dealers who activated Counter Payment (Bank). Hence, you need to generate e-Pay-in-Slip (Challan) for counter Payments at the Banks.
- In order to get the challan login by clicking ‘e-Payment’ Button. The dealer has the following options:-
- If the payment of tax is by cash, needs to enter the amount & confirm and an e-Pay-in-slip (Challan) will be generated.
- If the payment of tax is by Cheque/DD, the dealer needs to select the Banks (from the above list of 3 Banks) and enter the details of Cheque & confirm and an e-Pay-inslip (Challan) will be generated.
- You can pay multiple taxes for eg. Form I and Form 1 in this screen.
- Print the generated e-pay-in-slip (Challan) and visit the nearest bank branch counters (From the list of above 3 Banks) for remittance of taxes during business hours of the Banks.
- Note, that the validity of the Challan generated is only for 14 days through the online portal. If delayed over 14 days the challan has to be re-generated for making the payment.
- Bank will accept the payment and give the endorsement with Bank seal on the e-pay-in-slip (Challan) instantly, in case of payment mode is in cash or Cheque from the same bank in which customer has account and remits the payment.
- In case the cheque payment instrument belongs to another bank, payment acknowledgement will be given only after realization.
- After getting acknowledgement from the bank, dealer needs to login into TNVAT portal and verify the e-Payment transaction under e-Payment verification link.
- You will also get an acknowledgement from the TNVAT portal in case if the status of the transaction is ‘Success’. Submit the copy of the Returns at the circle office , including the along with the acknowledgement given by the Bank e-Pay-in-Slip and the acknowledgement received from TNVAT portal.
- There is a provision for re-Print of e-pay-in-slip available for the dealers.
- Note that the Date of presentation of the Cheque in the Bank Counter will be treated as receipt date.
