Advance Tax - the Basics
Advance Tax is the income tax paid by the taxpayer in advance instead of making a lump sum payment at the end of the financial year. So, it is the tax that you pay as you earn. You, as a taxpayer, have to pay the amount in installments as per the due date given by the income tax department.
You are generally required to pay advance tax if your total tax liability, after accounting for TDS, exceeds INR 10,000 in a financial year. This rule applies to all categories of taxpayers, including freelancers, professionals, salaried individuals, and senior citizens.
As per the Income Tax Act, if your estimated tax liability for the financial year is more than Rs. 10,000, you are liable to pay advance tax. This applies to individuals, Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs), companies, and firms.
The Income Tax Department can charge interest under sections 234B and 234C of the Income Tax Act. The interest rate is 1% per month or part of the month for the period of delay.

Ways to Calculating of Advance Tax
You must accurately estimate and pay Advance Tax to avoid hefty penalties. To calculate Advance Tax, you need to calculate your estimated income for the financial year. You can do this by following these steps:
Make an estimate of your total income for the year by taking into account all sources of revenue, including salary, rental income, business profits, capital gains and other sources.
Calculate the tax liability using the applicable tax rates and deductions on the estimated income.
Subtract the deducted TDS amount or the TDS that will be deducted according to the tax slab that’s applicable for you.
You will get the advance tax payable once you deduct TDS from the tax liability.
You must pay your advance taxes on time, according to the prescribed instalment schedule set by the Income Tax Department. Failure to do so may result in penalties or tax liabilities.
