Advance Tax
If your tax after TDS is ₹10,000 or more in a year, you must pay it in instalments through the year — not at filing. We compute your advance tax, schedule the four instalments and keep you clear of 234B/234C interest.

Frequently asked questions
Who has to pay advance tax?
Anyone whose total tax after TDS is ₹10,000 or more — salaried with side income, freelancers and businesses. Resident seniors without business income are exempt.

15 June (15%), 15 September (45%), 15 December (75%) and 15 March (100%). Presumptive taxpayers pay 100% by 15 March.
What if I miss an instalment?
Interest accrues under 234C for deferment and 234B for shortfall. We compute and minimise it.
