🚨 Advance Tax Deadline Alert – Stay Compliant & Avoid Interest!

Many taxpayers forget that income tax is not always paid only while filing the return. If your total tax liability exceeds ₹10,000 in a financial year, you are required to pay Advance Tax in instalments during the year.

Advance tax follows a “pay as you earn” principle, ensuring that tax is paid periodically rather than as a lump sum at the end of the year.

📅 Advance Tax Instalment Schedule

✔ 15 June – 15% of total tax liability
✔ 15 September – 45% of total tax liability
✔ 15 December – 75% of total tax liability
✔ 15 March – 100% of total tax liability

👤 Who needs to pay Advance Tax?

• Business owners & professionals
• Freelancers and consultants
• Investors with capital gains
• Salaried individuals with additional income (rent, interest, trading etc.)

👉 Senior citizens (60+) without business or professional income are exempt.

⚠️ What happens if you miss the deadline?

Delay or short payment attracts interest at 1% per month under:
• Section 234B – Default in payment of advance tax
• Section 234C – Deferment of instalments

✅ Timely payment helps avoid penalties and improves tax planning.
