Please advise when tax due on LTCG has to be paid with reference to date when capital gain arises. Suppose I sell a property on 30 May and earn a LTCG of Rs. 10 lakhs. Tax @ 20% is Rs 2 lakhs. When do I have to pay this -immediately when LTCG arises,or 100% by 30 June i.e. in the quarter when LTCG arises, or 30% by 15 September, 60% by 15 December and 100% by 15 March to avoid payment of any interest / penalty?
