What is Advance Tax?
Advance tax is the income tax that you pay in installments throughout the financial year, instead of as a lump sum at the end. As per the Income Tax Act, any individual whose estimated tax liability for the year is ₹10,000 or more is required to pay advance tax. It is also known as the 'pay-as-you-earn' scheme of taxation.
