Advance tax & 234B/234C planner

The instalment schedule you should be paying, and the interest under Sections 234B and 234C if you fall short — for any assessee: individual, HUF, firm, LLP or company. Enter what you actually paid by each due date.

The schedule and both interest sections are identical for individuals, HUFs, firms, LLPs and companies (a single four-instalment schedule since FY 2016-17) — enter the entity’s own tax: slab tax for an individual, or flat rate + surcharge + cess, or MAT/AMT, for a firm or company. Advance tax is due when net tax liability (after TDS/TCS) is ₹10,000 or more. Instalments: 15% by 15 Jun, 45% by 15 Sep, 75% by 15 Dec, 100% by 15 Mar. 234C is 1% per month — 3 months on each of the first three shortfalls, 1 month on the last — with no interest where at least 12% / 36% is paid by 15 Jun / 15 Sep. Presumptive (44AD/44ADA) — open to individuals/HUFs and firms, not companies or LLPs — means a single 100% instalment by 15 March. 234B applies where advance tax paid is under 90% of assessed tax: 1% per month from 1 April of the assessment year to the date the balance is cleared, part-month counting as full. Shortfalls are rounded down to the nearest ₹100. A shortfall caused solely by capital gains, lottery/windfall, dividend, or a first-year business escapes 234C for that instalment if paid in the remaining ones — not modelled here. Indicative — not tax advice.

Partner remuneration & interest — Section 40(b)

Maximum remuneration and interest a firm/LLP can deduct for its partners, the book-profit ceiling, and the Section 194T TDS check. Limits switch automatically by year.

Book profit = net profit under the business head, before partner remuneration and after allowable partner interest (Explanation 3 to Sec 40(b)). Revised limits under the Finance (No. 2) Act, 2024 apply from AY 2025-26 / FY 2024-25: on the first ₹6,00,000 of book profit (or a loss), the higher of ₹3,00,000 or 90%, then 60% on the balance. Up to FY 2023-24 the first slab was ₹3,00,000 with a ₹1,50,000 / 90% floor. Interest to partners is capped at 12% p.a. Remuneration and interest must be authorised by the partnership deed, relate to a period after the deed, and be paid to working partners — only working partners qualify. Indicative — not a substitute for advice.

TDS calculator — rate, threshold & 201(1A) interest

Late-filing of the quarterly return is separate from the above: 234E fee is ₹200 per day of delay, capped at the TDS of that statement, and must be paid before filing — mandatory, not waivable. 271H penalty is ₹10,000 to ₹1,00,000 at the officer’s discretion for non-filing or wrong particulars; it is avoided only where the TDS, the 201(1A) interest and the 234E fee are paid and the statement is filed within one month of the due date (cut from one year w.e.f. 1 April 2025). No PAN → Section 206AA: 20% or the section rate if higher (5% for 194Q; maximum marginal rate for 192A). TDS deposit is due by the 7th of the following month (30 April for March deductions). 206AB/206CCA (higher rate for non-filers) were withdrawn from 1 April 2025. From FY 2026-27 the Income-tax Act, 2025 replaces the 1961 Act: salary TDS becomes Section 392 and the whole 194-series consolidates into Section 393 (TCS → Section 394), with rates and thresholds unchanged. The 2025-Act reference shown is the code the departmental TDS return utility lists for that payment (e.g. 393(1) No.6(i) for a contractor), so it matches what you select at filing. * 194-IB and 194T are not in that dropdown (194-IB files on Form 26QC; 194T isn’t listed), so those two show the nearest matching entry — confirm before quoting. Indicative — not tax advice.

Residential status — Section 6

For an individual, Previous Year 2025-26 (AY 2026-27). Days count both arrival and departure; territorial waters count as India. For crew of a foreign-bound Indian ship, exclude the CDC join-to-sign-off days (Rule 126) before entering PY days. Runs entirely in your browser.

    Optional helper — adds inclusive days into the PY field above.

    Days in India — 7 preceding years

    The four most recent feed the 365-day limb of 6(1)(b); all seven feed the 729-day test in 6(6).

    Non-Resident in the 10 preceding years?

    Tick each year the individual was Non-Resident — nine or more makes an RNOR under 6(6)(a).

      Scope of total income

      Previous Year runs 1 April 2025 – 31 March 2026. This tool applies domestic law (Section 6). Where a person is resident of two countries, the applicable DTAA tie-breaker (Article 4 — permanent home, centre of vital interests, habitual abode, nationality) can override this for treaty purposes and is fact-specific. Schedule FA applies to an ordinarily-resident individual only. Indicative — not tax advice.
