28 May 2026 Thanks sir for the prompt reply.
Please confirm, even though the asseesee has earned LTCG in the month of May, he will be liable to pay 15% tax liability before June 2026?

28 May 2026 Yes, the assessee is required to pay 15% of the tax liability by June 15, 2026. Because the capital gain occurred in May 2026 (prior to the first advance tax deadline of the financial year), it must be factored into the very first installment calculation to avoid interest penalties under Section 234C.

29 May 2026 Thanks for the reply.

29 May 2026 You are welcome.
