Advance tax is income tax paid during the year instead of at year-end, due whenever your total tax after TDS/TCS is ₹10,000 or more in a financial year (Section 208). For AY 2026–27 (FY 2025–26), non-presumptive taxpayers pay in four instalments — 15% by 15 June, 45% by 15 September, 75% by 15 December and 100% by 15 March. Presumptive taxpayers under 44AD/44ADA pay 100% in a single instalment by 15 March. Paying on time avoids interest under Sections 234B and 234C at 1% per month. Payment is made online via Challan 280 (ITNS 280).

₹10,000

ThresholdAdvance tax is payable only when your total tax for the year — after adjusting TDS and TCS — is ₹10,000 or more.

Understand It

What Is Advance Tax Calculation?

A quick, plain-language explanation before the details.

In simple terms

Advance tax is the "pay-as-you-earn" tax you deposit during the year in instalments, instead of paying a lump sum when you file your return.

Legally

Under Sections 208–211 of the Income-tax Act, 1961, advance tax is payable when the tax liability for the year — after adjusting TDS and TCS — is ₹10,000 or more, in the prescribed instalments and percentages.

Governing authority

Administered by the Income Tax Department; payment is made online via Challan 280 (ITNS 280) using the e-Pay Tax facility on the Income Tax e-filing portal.

Validity

Advance tax is computed and paid each financial year. Instalments not paid on time attract interest under Sections 234B and 234C at 1% per month until paid.

Why It Matters

Why Advance Tax Calculation Matters

Getting advance tax right protects your cash flow and avoids interest. Here is why accurate computation and timely payment matter.

01

Avoid 234B Interest

Paying at least 90% of your assessed liability as advance tax prevents 1% per month interest under Section 234B.
02

Avoid 234C Interest

Meeting each instalment cut-off avoids deferment interest under Section 234C on any shortfall.
03

Spread the Burden

Four smaller instalments are easier on cash flow than one large payment at year-end.
04

Capital Gains Covered

Gains, dividends and other one-off income are re-estimated in the remaining instalment so nothing is missed.
05

Correct TDS Set-off

We net off TDS/TCS from 26AS/AIS so you pay only the true balance and never over-deposit.
06

Presumptive Made Simple

44AD/44ADA taxpayers pay 100% in one instalment by 15 March — we compute the exact figure.

What Details Are Needed for Advance Tax Calculation?

Advance tax is computed on projected full-year income, so estimates are used where actuals are not yet available. Keep your 26AS/AIS and income details ready — everything is collected securely online.

Choose a detail group

Income Details

To project full-year income

4 documents

Salary details / expected salary for the year
Business or professional income & expected profit
Rental income and interest income estimates
Capital gains on shares, mutual funds or property

₹10,000 threshold

Advance tax is payable only when your total tax for the year, after TDS/TCS, is ₹10,000 or more (Section 208).

Re-estimate for gains

Capital gains and one-off income are hard to foresee — we re-estimate in the instalment after the income arises so no 234C interest applies.

Senior-citizen exemption

A resident senior citizen (60+) with no business or professional income is exempt from advance tax and can pay at the time of filing.

Keep the challan

Advance tax is paid via Challan 280 (ITNS 280) on the e-Pay Tax portal — save the challan for your ITR records.

Step by Step

How Advance Tax Calculation Works (Step by Step)

Computation and payment are entirely online through the Income Tax e-filing portal.

01

Income Projection

Estimate full-year income across all heads — salary, business, capital gains, interest and other income — for the financial year.

02

Tax Computation

Compute tax under both old and new regimes, apply the correct rebates and pick the lower liability.

03

Net Off TDS/TCS

Deduct TDS and TCS reflected in Form 26AS and AIS to find the advance tax actually payable.

04

Instalment Split

Split the balance into 15% / 45% / 75% / 100% instalments tied to the four due dates.

05

Pay via Challan 280

Deposit each instalment through Challan 280 (ITNS 280) on the e-Pay Tax facility of the income tax portal.

06

Track & Reconcile

Reconcile each payment in 26AS and re-estimate the next instalment if income changes.

How Long It Takes

Advance Tax Instalment Due Dates (AY 2026–27)

Stage	Expected Time
First instalment — by 15 June	15% of estimated tax liability
Second instalment — by 15 September	45% cumulative (less tax already paid)
Third instalment — by 15 December	75% cumulative (less tax already paid)
Fourth instalment — by 15 March	100% of the full liability

Presumptive taxpayers under Section 44AD / 44ADA pay 100% of advance tax in a single instalment on or before 15 March. Where a due date falls on a holiday, payment on the next working day is generally accepted. Missing an instalment or paying short attracts interest under Section 234C, and paying less than 90% overall attracts Section 234B — both at 1% per month.

Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

What is advance tax and who has to pay it?

Advance tax is income tax paid during the year instead of at year-end. Under Section 208 it is payable by anyone whose total tax liability after TDS and TCS is ₹10,000 or more in a financial year — salaried individuals with large other income, freelancers, businesses and capital-gains earners.

What are the advance tax due dates for AY 2026–27?

For non-presumptive taxpayers: 15% by 15 June, 45% cumulative by 15 September, 75% cumulative by 15 December and 100% by 15 March. Presumptive taxpayers under Section 44AD or 44ADA pay 100% in a single instalment by 15 March.

What is the difference between Section 234B and 234C interest?

Section 234B charges 1% per month when advance tax paid is less than 90% of the assessed liability. Section 234C charges 1% per month for deferment — when an instalment falls short of its due percentage. Both are avoidable with timely, correctly-sized instalments.

Do senior citizens have to pay advance tax?

A resident senior citizen (60 years or above) who has no income from business or profession is exempt from advance tax and can pay the tax at the time of filing the return instead.

How do presumptive taxpayers under 44AD or 44ADA pay advance tax?

Taxpayers opting for the presumptive scheme under Section 44AD or 44ADA pay the entire advance tax in one instalment on or before 15 March, rather than in four instalments.

How is advance tax on capital gains handled?

Capital gains cannot always be foreseen, so if the gain arises after an instalment due date, the related tax can be paid in the next instalment (or by 15 March) without attracting Section 234C deferment interest, provided it is paid on time.

How do I pay advance tax online?

Advance tax is deposited using Challan 280 (ITNS 280) through the e-Pay Tax facility on the Income Tax e-filing portal, selecting the assessment year and the "Advance Tax" option. Keep the challan for your records.

Is TDS adjusted against advance tax?

Yes. You first estimate the total tax on your projected income, then subtract TDS and TCS already deducted. Advance tax is payable only on the remaining balance if it is ₹10,000 or more.

What happens if I miss an advance tax instalment?

Missing or short-paying an instalment attracts Section 234C interest at 1% per month on the deferred amount. If your total advance tax for the year is less than 90% of the assessed liability, Section 234B interest at 1% per month also applies from the start of the assessment year until the tax is paid.

How is advance tax calculated?

Estimate your total income for the year across all heads, compute the tax under the applicable regime, apply rebates, then subtract TDS/TCS. If the balance is ₹10,000 or more, that balance is your advance tax, paid in the prescribed instalment percentages.

Does a salaried person need to pay advance tax?

If your employer deducts TDS that fully covers your salary tax, no advance tax is needed on salary. But if you have additional income — interest, rent, dividends or capital gains — on which TDS is short, and the resulting balance tax is ₹10,000 or more, advance tax is payable on that portion.

Can I pay all my advance tax in one instalment?

Non-presumptive taxpayers are expected to follow the four-instalment schedule; paying late or lumping it together can trigger Section 234C deferment interest. Only presumptive taxpayers under 44AD/44ADA are allowed to pay 100% in a single instalment by 15 March.

How is advance tax calculated step by step?

Estimate your total income for the year across all heads, compute the tax under the chosen regime and apply any rebate, then subtract the TDS and TCS reflected in Form 26AS/AIS. If the remaining balance is ₹10,000 or more it is your advance tax, paid in the instalment percentages — 15% by 15 June, 45% cumulative by 15 September, 75% by 15 December and 100% by 15 March.

How much interest is charged under Section 234B?

Section 234B charges simple interest at 1% per month, or part of a month, on the shortfall where the advance tax paid is less than 90% of the assessed tax. It runs from 1 April of the assessment year until the tax is paid, computed on the assessed tax less advance tax and TDS/TCS already credited.

How is Section 234C interest computed on each instalment?

Section 234C charges 1% per month for three months on each instalment shortfall — where you pay less than 15%, 45% and 75% of the tax by 15 June, 15 September and 15 December respectively — and 1% for one month on the shortfall against 100% by 15 March. It is deferment interest for paying an instalment short or late, separate from Section 234B.

What is the last date to pay advance tax for the year?

The final instalment covering 100% of the estimated liability is due by 15 March of the financial year. Tax deposited after 31 March is treated as self-assessment tax at the time of filing, not advance tax, and any shortfall by then attracts Section 234B interest.

Do I pay advance tax on capital gains, and by which due date?

Yes, but because gains cannot always be foreseen, the tax on a capital gain that arises after an instalment due date can be paid in the next instalment falling due (or by 15 March) without Section 234C interest, provided it is paid on time. We re-estimate and adjust the gain into the correct instalment.

What happens if I overpay advance tax during the year?

If your advance tax and TDS together exceed your final liability, the excess is refunded when you file your return, and interest under Section 244A is payable on the refund from the department. We net off TDS/TCS from 26AS/AIS so you pay only the true balance and avoid over-depositing in the first place.
