If you mean TDS (tax deducted at source) in India , the “in person” option is to pay at an authorized bank branch with Challan 281. The Income Tax Department says physical payment can be made by furnishing Challan 281 at an authorized bank branch, while e-payment is also available.

How to pay in person

  1. Fill out Challan 281 with the correct tax details.
  2. Take it to an authorized bank branch that accepts TDS payments.
  3. Pay the amount in cash, cheque, or as accepted by that bank.
  4. Keep the stamped receipt as proof of payment.

What to bring

  • Completed Challan 281.
  • Your PAN and TAN details, if applicable.
  • The exact tax amount.
  • Supporting details for the deductee and assessment year.

Important note

Many branches now prefer or require online payment , so it helps to confirm with the bank before going. The Income Tax Department also notes that corporate assessees and many tax audit cases must pay electronically, so in- person payment is not always allowed for every taxpayer.

If you meant TDS Telecom

If you meant TDS Telecom bills , TDS says you can pay in person at local TDS offices in Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, North Carolina, and Utah. TDS also lists cash payment options through Western Union Agency and Walmart Service Desk locations with a remittance stub, though those are not the same as paying at a TDS office.

Quick tip

For a tax payment, use Challan 281 ; for a telecom bill, use the local office or approved cash-payment locations.
