05 October 2013 Hi..
Please tell me, if advance tax of a company is paid in less and the remaining amount has been paid with next payment of advance tax. will there be any penality for that, if yes in what percentage? And what will be the entry for that?? Above that after completing all installments of advance tax in March, what the procedure is to be followed and how it will look like in tally entries. I mean if we are making all the tax in advance then what will be the entry in the last quarter, how to close it??

07 October 2013 I am just answering the penalty part: it is in form of interest. please refer to section 234C.
