  1. Hello

    I had an income of Rs. 1,00,000/- additional to my salary and declared it to my employer, but they failed to deduct the tax due on it. Consequently, no tax on that amount has been deposited with govt. Could you suggest how I can minimize the penal interest now? Specifically, can I deposit approximately Rs. 31,000/- now as Advance Tax for F.Y. 2015-16?

    Thanks in anticipation. Best regards,

    • You have to pay interest for late payment of the tax. Moreover, it is not advance tax but self assessment tax as it is being paid after 31st March 2016. Calculate the same and show it separately in the challan.

    • Since the FY 2014-15 for the AY 2015-16 is already over by 31st March 2015, Any tax paid now becomes self assessment tax and not advance tax. So please select SAS as your option and make the required payment by adding interest on it.
