21 July 2011 You need not pay interest on 21st. If you fail to pay it today, then you need to pay the interest.

21 July 2011 try to pay in some another bank. Or if you have an online account, then pay it through that.

21 July 2011 Pay online. Go to your banker and ask them to provide you internet banking facility and you can pay online.
