How advance tax works
Advance tax is payable when your tax for the year, after TDS and TCS, is ₹10,000 or more. It is paid in four instalments: 15% of the year's tax by 15 June, 45% by 15 September, 75% by 15 December and 100% by 15 March. If you use presumptive taxation, you can pay the whole amount by 15 March. A resident aged 60 or more with no business or professional income does not need to pay advance tax.
Shortfalls and late payments attract interest of 1% a month. Paying at least 12% by 15 June and 36% by 15 September avoids interest for those two instalments. Rules as applicable for FY 2026-27; confirm your figures before paying.
