Dear All,
Can you please tell me panelty or interest if incurred to deposit advance tax on sunday as the due date is on sunday.
Is it liable to pay interest because Advance Tax paid on sunday was refelcted on the next date i.e Monday. For exp. The due date was on sunday of 15th March & it was deposited on the same day but Challan tender date is being shown 16.03.2015.
You are not liable to pay any interest.

In case of e-payment of taxes, payments made up to 8.00 pm will be treated as received on the same day and those received thereafter be treated as received on next working day.
