As you have already understood the calculation of taxable income and tax on it. In

that the tax liability of a person should be paid in the self-assessment u/s 140A.
Let us now elaborate further, if the tax payable is Rs. 5,000 or more, then the tax
is paid in the previous year itself. In other words, payment of tax is not allowed to
be deferred to the assessment year. Perhaps the motive of government is to collect
the big amount of tax at the earliest.

Tax is paid in advance when the liability of advance tax is Rs.5, 000 or more. The
provisions of advance tax are applicable on all types of persons irrespective of the
residential status of the person. The advance tax is paid in the previous year itself.
Thus, the tax is paid in the year of earning of income, in other words the earning
of income and payment of tax goes simultaneously. Thus, the tax is paid as
income is earned. This scheme of advance payment of tax is also called pay as
