Self assessment tax

Advance tax: You need to pay advance tax if you are a salaried taxpayer with other sources of income like interest on deposits and your tax liability for the year exceeds Rs 10,000 after your employer has deducted the TDS. You pay this tax in the financial year preceding the assessment year in three instalments and the due dates are 15 September, 15 December and 15 March.

Self-assessment tax: This tax is paid in the assessment year before filing the I-T returns. If during the calculation of your tax liability, you realise that some tax is still due after taking into account the TDS and advance tax, then you pay self-assessment tax. There is no specified date for paying this tax and is done by filling a tax challan ITNS 280 at specified bank branches or online.
