Notes on it

  1. Explainer

    The Income-tax Act, 2025: what the "tax year" changes for you

    The new Act has applied from 1 April 2026. The words and section numbers change more than the tax you pay. A short guide to what to look for.

    Advance tax: four dates, and who must pay

    If your tax for the year will be more than the threshold after TDS, you pay it in four instalments. Missing one means interest.
