- 300 for SELF ASSESSMENT TAX,
- 400 for Tax on Regular Assessment for making any payment only when demand has been raised by Income Tax Department.
Details of Payments : Income Tax, Education Cess, Interest, Penalty
You need to break up the tax payable into its components, i.e. “Income Tax” and “Education Cess” etc. There is no Surcharge for FY 2012-13 and education cess is 3%.
-
- For Advance Tax: Filling only amount is fine but it would be best if you fill in the education cess too. So if you are paying Rs 10,000 as tax , pay 300 (3% of 10,000) as education cess too.
- For Self Assessment Tax: One needs to pay education cess and also penalties calculated under Sections 234A/B/C and entered separately in “Interest” field. For example: So if total tax payable Rs. 10,000, the Income Tax component is (10,000 / 1.03) i.e. Rs. 9,709, and Education Cess is Rs. 291 (3% of Rs. 9709).
Write down the name of the bank and income tax on cheque for example if you want to deposit it into Punjab National Bank then cheque will be in favour of PNB A/C INCOME TAX (Ref: CaClubIndia Whose name i should draw cheque for paying income tax)

My father (pensioner) downloaded 26AS, where it shows 1.80 Lacs income and 10K TDS deducted at source. In form 16 income shown as 2.3 lakhs with zero TDS. Also bank has given statement as interest on income paid 2.65 Lakhs + Interest accrued as 2.3 Lakhs. He has investment 80k NSC and 18K Mediclaim. Now what is the income to be shown as other income and what amount to be shown in TDS2 to claim TDS.It will help if you also mention tax payable for AY17-18.
Please check that you are seeing the details of the same year. For AY 2017-18 FY is 2016-17.
The income from Salary would be Total income in Form 16 which should match total income in Form 26AS i.e 2.3/1.8
Income from Interest on bank deposits is 2.3 lakh ..is TDS deducted for it? It has to be shown as Income from Other sources as explained in our article Fixed Deposit , Interest , TDS, Tax,Income Tax Return, Refund
Claim 80K investment done between 1 Apr 2016 to 31 Mar 2017 as 80C deduction

Dear Sir,
Is there any limit for payment /deposit of income tax challan by cheque?
What to do if we have paid tax by cheque for amount exceeding the limit?
Kindly help and guide at the earliest.
thanks!
Rajkumar
We are not aware of any limit on payment of income tax challan. We know that till 1 lakh there is no problem.
You are really very helpful to people like us.
Would you please advise me in the following? I am a salaried person in the 30% IT bracket with full TDS. I had some fixed deposits in a cooperative bank. On 22 Sept 2015 I closed some of the FD and got interest amount of Rs. 142009; and on 28 Oct 2015, i again closed some of the FD and got interest amount of Rs. 203952; finally, on 28 Jan 2016, I got again from some FD interest amount of Rs. 191275. The bank did not deduct any income tax and I also missed to pay. I want to clear all these dues by Challan 280 through some bank. How much income tax with interest and penalty (if any) I have to pay? Is there any final date? Would you please help me with a reply? Thanks so much.
First can you verify in Form 26AS that TDS was not deducted.
As TDS is for FY 2015-16 and your interest income is more than 10,000 you would have been required to pay Advance Tax. 30% by 15 Sep, 60% by 15 dec & 100% by Mar. Now you would have to pay penalty for not filling Advance tax under section 234 B & C.
You would have to pay tax using Challan 280. You need to calculate the interest. As ITR is available now you can fill in details to find the interest you need to pay. Our article Section 234A,234B,234C : Interest Penalty for not paying Expected IncomeTax on Time for more details.
Can we make payment in cash? What is the limit upto which tax can be paid in cash?
what name on cheque if paid income tax through cheque by Punjab national bank
You can make the payment in any of the designated Banks.The cheque has to be made payable to “The Bank(Eg.Punjab National Bank)-A/c Income-tax” and should be submitted along with Challan 280.If you do not have an A/c with the Bank where you submit the payment,then the stamped challan counterfoil would be returned to you after the clearance of the cheque.
Can this challan can be paid any bank ? My father asked me to pay in state bank of Hyderabad but I payed in Andhra bank will there be any problem ? Wating for ur replay
Bank does not matter. Check Form 26AS of the your father after 2-3 days to verify.
