Advance Tax Deadline June 15: Payment Rules and Who Must Pay in Full Instalment
The advance tax deadline for FY 2026-27 is June 15, 2026. Taxpayers with an estimated tax liability exceeding Rs 10,000 after TDS and TCS adjustments must pay advance tax, typically in four installments. However, certain categories, including resident senior citizens without business income and professionals under the presumptive scheme, may pay their entire tax liability in a single instalment. Freelancers, consultants, and business owners should ensure timely payment to avoid interest charges, especially as some incomes may not have TDS deductions.
