If the TAX is being Deposited in RBI then draw it on its name for example Reserve Bank of India, Kanpur.
If the you are Depositing the Tax in the Branch in which you have your Bank account and which does TAX collection then just mention YOURSELF.
However, I personally feel these days the best option is to make the payment online and get the challan at once than by making payment through cheque and waiting for three days.

If you write " income tax account " is sufficient.

You should invariably remit your IT through Challan in any bank. If you are deposing the IT in the bank where you are having your account, then you have to issue cheque in favour of your bank branch iteself. do not forget to mention your PAN No. on the challan ward/circle and TDS authority code. otherwise your Remittance will not be properly recognised at the time of assessment by your assessing authority.

Just write down the name of the bank and income tax on cheque and deposit into bank WITH RESPECTIVE CHALAN
for example if you want to deposit it into Punjab Nationa Bnak then cheque will be in favour of " PNB A/C INCOME TAX "

Its sufficient that u can mention A/c Income Tax
Or u can mention bank name also
i.e.
SBI A/c Income Tax
Or
PNB A/c Income Tax
Or many more banks in which Income Tax holds A/c's of them..

hello Indira,
In my opinion income tax can be paid via cheque or cash both.
If you wish to make the payment by a cheque, you have to issue a cheque in favor of 'Income Tax Department.'

You can visit any branch of the selected bank and remit the tax amount over the counter via Cash / Cheque / Demand Draft (along with Challan Form).
