How much advance tax is due, and when?
Instalment amounts and due dates for the year, based on the instalment schedule applicable to the year.
Advance tax is payable in instalments through the year wherever the estimated tax liability is ten thousand rupees or more. Most taxpayers pay 15 per cent by 15 June. The cumulative share then rises to 45, 75 and 100 per cent by 15 September, 15 December and 15 March. A taxpayer under a presumptive scheme under section 44AD or 44ADA pays the entire amount in one instalment, by 15 March. Interest under sections 234B and 234C applies where an instalment is short or late.

How this is calculated
This tool applies section 208, which requires advance tax where the estimated liability is ten thousand rupees or more.
The instalment percentages are the four-instalment schedule applicable to a taxpayer who is not under a presumptive scheme.
A taxpayer under section 44AD or section 44ADA pays the full amount in a single instalment by 15 March.
Interest for a shortfall or delay is charged under section 234B and section 234C and is not calculated by this tool.
