Common questions
How is 234C interest calculated on capital gains?
Capital gains enter the instalment schedule only from the window in which they arise — a gain booked in January creates no June/September/December shortfall. Interest runs at 1% per month for three months per deferred instalment (one month for March). This calculator captures gains period-wise and applies the rule automatically.
What are the advance tax due dates for F.Y. 2026-27?
15 June (15%), 15 September (45%), 15 December (75%) and 15 March (100%), cumulatively. Presumptive taxpayers under 44AD/44ADA pay the entire amount by 15 March. Resident senior citizens without business income are exempt.
What is the safe harbour in 234C?
No interest applies on the first instalment if you paid at least 12% of the tax due, and on the second if at least 36% — even if below the 15%/45% marks. The calculator flags when a small top-up would have engaged the safe harbour.
