Advance Tax

Hi

Can we pay advance tax now as got details on Bank Interest now. I know the last date was March 15th.

Is there any difference on late fee or penalty amount if we pay now or pay during tax filing time. 

Please clarify.

Thanks

Kumar

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the possibility of paying advance tax after the March 15th deadline. While direct advance tax payments for the previous financial year (2020-21) are no longer possible, individuals can still pay via self-assessment tax. Paying now can help save on interest charges that would otherwise accrue until tax filing. The conversation also addresses the implications of using the advance tax code (100) versus the self-assessment tax code (300), confirming that payments made before March 31st are treated as advance tax and should be reconciled correctly.

Now you cannot pay the advance tax for the FY 20-21. But you Can Deposit as self assessment tax.

No you cannot deposit advance tax now

Deposit the tax now, this will sav your interest on late payment by a few months. 

Yes, if you pay today, the interest applicable on advance taxes, from today till date of filing return can be saved
You are welcome as you are paying earlier. Definitely you save on interest

Thank you all for your kind reply.

What will happen if I paid with Advance Tax code (100) rather than Self assessment Tax (300) now. Is there any difference or just they will consider both as Income Tax. 

Advance tax code 100 will now be applicable for FY 2021-22

I have paid 30th March with the code 100 for FY 20-21 and AY 21-22. What will happen this payment.

It's okay. Not to worry

That will be considered as advance tax only
Payment before 31 st March is treated as advance tax only. it is ok.
