All advanced
users and software providers may please note that the Bank Account Number
should NOT have any character other than 0 to 9. The XML schema provides for
'String' data type to be able to capture leading zeroes in account number,
but taxpayers are entering 'A/c', 'Acc. No.', 'LF No.' etc. These types of
additional (and not relevant) characters will create difficulties in
capturing account number properly. However, on this issue there is no change
in XML schema, but software developers are requested to place this
restriction on their software utility for return preparation with immediate
effect. Return preparation software in this website is being modified to
this extent. |
