Mathematics & Law

Formula & Calculation Logic

Mathematical Formula
Net Advance Tax = Total Estimated Tax Liability - TDS/TCS Credits. Installments: 15% by 15 June, 45% by 15 Sept, 75% by 15 Dec, 100% by 15 March

Under Section 208, every taxpayer whose estimated net tax liability (after deducting TDS and TCS) exceeds ₹10,000 in a Financial Year is legally required to pay advance tax in four statutory installments: (1) 15% on or before June 15, (2) 45% (cumulative) on or before September 15, (3) 75% (cumulative) on or before December 15, and (4) 100% on or before March 15. Delay in installment payments attracts 1% monthly interest under Section 234C, and default in paying at least 90% tax by year-end attracts 1% monthly interest under Section 234B.

Expert Advisory Recommendation:

Online estimations provide mathematical clarity, but real-world filing involves matching multiple source ledgers (AIS/TIS, Form 26AS, GSTR-2B, broker P&L). Consult with an EasyFile Tax Specialist before submitting statutory tax returns to avoid mismatch intimations.

Resident senior citizens (aged 60 years or older) who do not have any income from business or profession (PGBP) are completely exempt from paying advance tax.

Taxpayers declaring business or professional income under presumptive taxation schemes (Section 44AD / Section 44ADA) are exempt from quarterly installments and can pay 100% of their advance tax in a single installment on or before March 15.

Missing quarterly installment deadlines attracts simple penal interest at the rate of 1% per month (or part of a month) under Section 234C. Paying immediately minimizes interest liability.
