It's 12:30 [local time] in the afternoon and queues have only become longer. Some people are eating lunch from boxes they brought with them in the morning.
Praveen Singh works as a production manager in a garment factory, and he is also waiting to deposit 2,50,000 rupees in his bank account.
"Yes, it's not my money. I am doing this for my boss. He has always been nice to me, and has helped me financially on many occasions," he says.
"I don't see this as a fight between rich and poor people. Given a choice, everybody wants to avoid paying taxes. That's what the government needs to change and encourage people to pay taxes."
Archaeologists in Egypt have unearthed what they describe as a city that dates back more than 5,000 years, containing houses, tools, pottery and huge graves.
It lies by the river Nile, close to the Temple of Seti the First in Abydos.
Experts say the size of the 15 newly discovered graves indicates the high social standing of those buried.
It is believed the city was home to important officials and tomb builders and would have flourished during early-era ancient Egyptian times.
Experts say the find could be a boost for Egypt's struggling tourism industry which has been in the doldrums since President Hosni Mubarak was overthrown in 2011.
Archaeologists have made a range of finds in the newly-discovered city including buildings, shards of pottery and tools.
But BBC Middle East analyst Alan Johnston says that most significant is the discovery of the huge graves.
It is believed that this location was home to important officials and tomb builders who may have been engaged in the construction of royal graves in the nearby sacred city of Abydos - a place of many temples, and a capital in an early period of ancient Egyptian history.
The rich discovery is exciting news, our correspondent says, and not just for modern Egypt's archaeologists.
It comes at a time when the country is trying re-energise its hugely important tourism industry, which has suffered badly as a result of protracted political turmoil.
Officials quoted in the Egypt Independent said the discovery was made by an archaeological mission that belongs to the country's Antiquities Ministry, and not a foreign group.
India rupee ban: Film star Ravi Babu takes piggy to bank
A south Indian film star has caused a sensation after being photographed standing in a bank queue with a live piglet tucked under his arm.
Ravi Babu said the piglet would star in his next film called Adhigo, which translates from the Telugu to "there".
Long bank queues have become common after 500 and 1,000 rupee notes were banned in a crackdown on corruption.
"I was taking it to a computer graphics lab when I realised I didn't have money for fuel," Mr Babu told the BBC.
"I stopped at the ATM but had to carry it myself because it squealed when my production assistant tried carrying it.
"You have to hold it with your hand under its chest and hold it close to you to make it feel comfortable."
The picture is being widely circulated on Indian social media.
There have been chaotic scenes in India ever since the currency ban was announced as part of a crackdown on "black money" two weeks ago. People have been queuing up for hours outside banks and cash machines which often are fast running out of money.
This has brought India's largely cash economy to a virtual standstill.

The piglet, whose name is Bunty, is one of 25 pigs being reared to star in Babu's film.
"`They just grow too fast. So I am rearing quite a few to ensure the piglet's character looks the same size," he told the BBC.
Standing in line at the ATM in the southern city of Hyderabad, Babu took only about 15 minutes to withdraw 2,000 rupees - with Bunty firmly in hand.
The four people ahead of the star in the queue did not seem too bothered about the piglet and were apparently more concerned about withdrawing money.
It was only when the impatient piglet started protesting that onlookers reacted with amusement.
Tokyo is experiencing its first November snowfall in 54 years.
Residents of the Japanese capital were taken by surprise, as the temperatures around this time of the year usually range from 10C to 17C.
The snow, caused by an unusual cold front over the city, caused slight delays on public transport.
The first snowfall - which is called "hatsuyuki" - arrived 40 days earlier than average, Japan's Kyodo news agency reports.
Tokyo last saw November snow in 1962, though in that year it did not accumulate on the ground.
The current snowfall marks the first time fallen snow has been seen on the ground in Tokyo in November since records started to be taken in 1875.
The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) has warned of possible icy roads, snow on electric wires and trees, and the collapse of plastic greenhouses, according to the Japan Times.
The last time it snowed in Tokyo in November, in 1962...
Tokyo had no skyscrapers - the first modern skyscraper, the Kasumigaseki Building, only went up in 1968.
The Tokyo Olympics was still two years away - the seminal event kicked off an era of rapid modernisation and growth.
So was the Shinkansen - the high-speed bullet train made its maiden trip in 1964 from Tokyo to Osaka.
Many people still used traditional squat toilets - Japan may be famous for its high-tech toilets, but the Japanese only took to Western-style plumbing later in the 1960s.
Trump election: Who is Jeff Sessions, US attorney general nominee?
President-elect Donald Trump has named longtime ally US Senator Jeff Sessions to become his attorney general.
But allegations of racism that have dogged Mr Sessions' career could make for an uncomfortable Senate confirmation hearing.
The right-wing, anti-illegal immigration senator from Alabama was one of Mr Trump's earliest supporters in his White House bid.
As a fervent supporter, he was a senior adviser to the New York tycoon on politics, national security and policy.
He is also one of the vice-chairmen on Mr Trump's presidential transition team.
KKK joke
At his victory bash in New York, Mr Trump said of Mr Sessions, "he is highly respected in Washington because he is as smart as you get".
Born Jefferson Beauregard "Jeff" Sessions III, the 69-year-old has served as a senator for nearly two decades.
He was Alabama's attorney general before he joined the Senate in 1996.
He sits on the Senate Armed Services C
The hardline lawmaker, who helped Mr Trump craft his foreign policy plan, was one of the few Republicans to come to Mr Trump's defence after he proposed a temporary ban on Muslims entering the US.
Mr Sessions said Mr Trump was "treading on dangerous ground", but that it was "appropriate to begin to discuss" the issue.
The senator's past remarks about race have drawn scrutiny and proved a roadblock in his political career.
A Senate committee denied Mr Sessions a federal judgeship in 1989 after lawmakers heard testimony that he had used a racial slur.
He had also joked about the Klu Klux Klan, saying he thought they were "OK, until he learned that they smoked marijuana".
Mr Sessions was also accused of calling a black assistant US attorney "boy" and telling him to be careful about how he spoke to "white folks".
He denied to the committee ever having called the lawyer "boy" and insisted he had merely advised him to be cautious about what he said to "folks".
Mr Sessions also did not deny claims that he had labelled the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People "un-American" and "communist-inspired".
Immigration hardliner
He has spent much of his career fighting immigration battles, ranging from amnesty bills on creating a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants to visa programmes for foreign workers.
Mr Sessions supports limiting legal immigration, arguing it protects American jobs.
He also backs Mr Trump's plan to build a wall along the US-Mexican border.
In a 2005 Washington Post op-ed, he argued that "Legal immigration is the primary source of low-wage immigration into the United States" and that the country needed immigration moderation, "slowing the pace of new arrivals so that wages can rise, welfare rolls can shrink and the forces of assimilation can knit us all more closely together".
Much of his strident views on immigration were laid out last year in his 25-page manifesto, "Immigration Handbook for the New Republican Majority".
In the report, he argues immigration was responsible for job loss and welfare dependency and called claims by tech entrepreneurs that immigrant workers with elite skills were part of the innovation process a "hoax".
Trump election: US Jewish activist vows solidarity with Muslims
The Jewish head of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), an anti-bigotry group, has vowed to register as a Muslim if Donald Trump creates a database of Muslim Americans.
The idea of a Muslim database arose in November 2015, when Mr Trump told a reporter he would "certainly implement that. Absolutely".
Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the ADL, said: "If one day Muslim Americans will be forced to register their identities, then that is the day that this proud Jew will register as a Muslim".
His comments came at the group's Never Is Now conference on anti-Semitism, held in New York.
"We must stand with our fellow Americans who may be singled out for how they look, where they're from, who they love or how they pray," Mr Greenblatt said.
The ADL chief, who previously served in the White House as special assistant to President Barack Obama, told BBC News: "The bottom line here is - we in the Jewish community know what it is when you apply a litmus test based on faith - when you identify people and tag them based on faith...
"When you take one group and make all of them suspect. I feel we have more obligations to speak out."
Mr Trump's position on the proposed Muslim register is presently unclear.
In a statement on Thursday, a spokesman for the Trump transition team appeared to row back from his comments last year, saying Mr Trump had "never advocated for any registry or system that tracks individuals based on their religion, and to imply otherwise is completely false".

Trump to Muslims: 'Turn people in'
How Pepe the Frog became a hate symbol
Jason Miller was responding to new reports that Mr Trump's team was considering a database for US immigrants from Muslim countries.
Mr Greenblatt's pledge to register as Muslim struck a chord with many people on social media, who took up the hashtag #NeverIsNow.
Cornell W Brooks, president of African-American civil rights group the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), was among those to second the pledge.
"As a proud Christian & a card-carrying member of the @NAACP, I'll also register as a Muslim right behind @JGreenblattADL," he wrote.
"Never is now" refers to the "never again" vow made by Jews after World War Two, when they promised never to stay silent in the face of persecution.
According to an FBI report released this week, hate crimes on the basis of religion increased 23% between 2014 and 2015. This included a rise in reported anti-Jewish crimes, and a significant increase in anti-Muslim hate crimes.
The Southern Poverty Law Center, a non-profit group based in Alabama, reported 437 separate incidents of intimidation between the election on 8 November and 14 November, targeting ethnic minorities, Muslims, immigrants, women, and the LGBT community.
US Attorney General Loretta Lynch said the justice department was investigating whether recent reports of harassment, for instance at schools and churches, violated federal hate crime and other civil rights laws.
"Many Americans are concerned by a spate of recent news reports about alleged hate crimes and harassment," Ms Lynch said.
She urged the public to keep reporting such incidents, "so that our career investigators and prosecutors can take action to defend your rights".
