Let \(\xi_1,\dots,\xi_n\) be independent integer random variables, let \(S_n=\sum_{k=1}^n\xi_k\), and let \(\eta_n=(S_n-A_n)/B_n\), \(A_n\subset{\mathbb R}, B_n\to\infty\). Let \(G_n(\cdot)\) be approximating absolutely continuous distributions with the density functions \(g_n(x)\), i.e. \(P\{\eta_n\in A\}-G_n(A)\to 0\) as \(n\to\infty\). The author proposes estimates for \[ \Delta_n=\sup_{m}\left|P\{S_n=m\}-{1\over{B_n}}g_n\left({{m-A_n}\over{B_n}}\right)\right|. \] The obtained estimates may be considered as generalization of some results obtained by \textit{I. A. Ibragimov} and \textit{J. V. Linnik} [``Unabhängige und stationär verbundene Größen'' (1965; Zbl 0154.42201)] and other known results concerning approximation of \(\Delta_n\) in particular cases. The proposed estimates improve (in the one-dimensional case) the estimate obtained by \textit{A. B. Mukhin} [Theory Probab. Appl. 36, No. 4, 698-713 (1991); translation from Teor. Veroyatn. Primen. 36, No. 4, 660-674 (1991; Zbl 0748.60028)].
