Advance Tax September 15 Deadline: Payment Rules and Calculation Guidance
The second instalment of advance tax for the financial year 2026-27 is due on September 15, requiring taxpayers with estimated tax liabilities exceeding ₹10,000 after TDS and TCS adjustments to pay 45% cumulatively. Salaried individuals with only salary income or minimal additional income may be exempt. Taxpayers should estimate total income, calculate tax liability including cess, subtract TDS/TCS, and pay the required instalment to avoid interest. This system allows tax payments in instalments during the year instead of at filing.
