Income Tax Department asks taxpayers to ignore erroneous advance tax payment nudge campaign emails highlighting ‘significant transactions’

Since yesterday many chartered accountants and taxpayers are saying that taxpayers, including individuals, have been getting nudge emails from the income tax department about advance tax. The nudge email mentions that the Income Tax Department has reason to believe that the taxpayer’s advance tax payment doesn’t match up with their financial activities.

Advance tax deadline is on Sunday June 15, can you pay it on Monday June 16 without any penal interest?

Those who have an income tax liability of more than Rs 10,000 need to discharge this tax liability by paying advance tax through four scheduled installments. The due date for the first installment of advance tax payment for FY 2025-26 is on June 15, 2025 which is a Sunday. Since Sunday is a public holiday banks are closed, which means you can’t use the bank challan or physical NEFT/IMPS method to pay advance on June 15, 2025.
