### **Steps to Handle Missing Bank Name in Form 15CA:**
1. **Verify Bank Details:** - Ensure that the bank name is correctly entered in your Form 15CA. Double-check if the bank's full and correct name is available or if it’s listed under a different name.
2. **Update Bank Details in the Form:** - If the dropdown list does not include your bank, it might be due to a system update or error. Confirm that you are using the latest version of the form and the most updated list.
3. **Use the "Others" Option:** - If available, select the “Others” option from the dropdown list and manually provide the bank details in the space provided. This option allows for the entry of banks not listed in the dropdown.
4. **Contact the Bank:** - Reach out to your bank to confirm if there are any changes or updates in the bank details that need to be reflected in the Form 15CA. Sometimes, banks have to update their information in the system.
5. **Consult the Tax Professional:** - If you are unsure or facing issues with Form 15CA, consult a tax professional or chartered accountant. They can provide guidance on the correct procedure or help you with any alternative steps.
6. **File a Complaint or Feedback:** - If you believe the issue is due to a technical glitch or outdated information in the online form system, you can file a complaint or provide feedback to the Income Tax Department through their website or helpline.
7. **Alternative Filing Options:** - As a temporary solution, you might consider filing the form manually (if permitted) or contacting the Income Tax Department for further instructions on how to handle this specific issue.
### **General Instructions for Form 15CA:**
