HOW TO PAY TAXES ONLINE?

The income you earn is taxed in three ways, namely,

  1. a) Tax deducted at source (TDS),
  2. b) Advance tax payments, and
  3. c) Self- assessment taxes paid before filing your income tax return (ITR).

Salary received by employees is subject to TDS, in that case, they are not mandatorily required to pay advance tax on salary income.

  1. Advance tax payments:
