Advance Tax Filing

Individuals who have sources of income other than their salary must pay advance tax. This applies to rent, capital gains from stocks, fixed deposits, lottery prizes, and so on. It is possible to pay it online or through specified banks.

Advance tax is also referred to as the ‘Pay as you Earn’ plan. If your tax burden exceeds Rs.10,000 in a fiscal year, you must pay the tax. The tax must be paid in the same year as the income is received.

Advance Tax Filing

Any due refund earns you interest of roughly 0.5% per month or 6% per year, as in the case of an income tax rebate. However, if the advance tax is not paid on time, you will be taxed 1% per month or 12% per year.

The advance tax is due before the fiscal year closes.

Advance tax can be paid at authorised Income Tax Department bank branches using tax payment challans. Deposits can be made at authorised banks such as ICICI Bank, Reserve Bank of India, HDFC Bank, Syndicate Bank, Allahabad Bank, State Bank of India, and others.

Another method of paying advance taxes is through the Income Tax Department’s online tax payment website or the National Securities Depository.
