September 15 Deadline for Second Advance Tax Instalment and Payment Guidelines
The September 15, 2026 deadline marks the due date for the second instalment of advance tax payments for taxpayers whose tax liability exceeds Rs 10,000 and is not fully covered by TDS or TCS. Advance tax is paid in instalments during the financial year, with the second instalment requiring a cumulative payment of 45% of the estimated annual tax liability. Taxpayers who missed the June 15 instalment can still pay it with applicable interest before the September deadline, ensuring total payments meet the required percentage.
