Read more about Tax filing @ http://tips4ufromsony.blogspot.com/2011/07/income-tax-process-and-e-filing.html .

If you are a salaried person there is tax deduction at source (TDS), which takes care of the tax payments for your salary. At the same time, there will be additional liabilities for income like interest on deposits, bonds and even capital gains which might require you to pay Advance Tax. Advance tax has to be paid in several installments in September, December and March. Self-assessment tax is the difference between the tax paid and the tax payable.You can figure out the self-assessment tax amount when you make the final income tax calculation. There is no specific date for paying this tax but it has to be done before you file your income tax return so that no further amount of tax remains to be paid.

While computing advance tax, income-tax on the current income has to be first determined and the tax on such income has to be determined. As per section 208, advance tax shall be payable in every case where the amount of tax payable by the assessee during that year is in excess of Rs. 5,000. As per section 211, advance tax is payable by companies in four instalments and by non-corporate assessees in three instalments. In cases of corporate assessees, advance tax is payable as under:

Due date of instalment Amount payable
On or before 15/6 Not less than 15%
On or before 15/9 Not less than 45%
On or before 15/12 Not less than 75%
On or before 15/3 The whole amount or 100%

If an assessee fails to pay the amount as above or if the amount paid falls short of the amount payable as under, he would be liable to interest @ 1% p.m. for a period of 3 months with respect to the first three instalments and for one month for the fourth instalment.

In the case of a non-corporate assessees, advance tax is payable in three instalments as given below:

Due date of instalment Amount payable
On or before 15/9 Not less than 30%
On or before 15/12 Not less than 60%
On or before 15/3 The whole amount or 100%

If an assessee either fails to pay the whole of advance tax or where the advance tax paid by him is less than 90% of the assessed tax, he shall be liable to interest @ 1% per month (@ 1.25% up to 7-9-2003) or part of the month from the 1st April of the assessment year to the date of determination of total income u/s. 143(1) and where regular assessment is made, to the date of such regular assessment. No interest is payable if the advance tax paid is 90% or more of the assessed tax.

ATG Search Indexing - overview of different steps in search indexing

Read more about the search indexing behind the scene steps @  http://tips4ufromsony.blogspot.in/2011/12/atg-search-indexing-behind-scene-steps.html ATG Search prepares searchable content by indexing the products specified in the XML definition file (/atg/commerce/search/ProductCatalogOutputConfig). Generally there are two types of indexing 1.  Full Indexing  --> all data taken for indexing 2.  Incremental Indexing --> only changed data will be taken for indexing When full indexing is triggered, following happens:    1. The out of box component BulkLoader will call IndexedItemsGroup.getGroupMembers() to load the products to the XHTL document. It prevents uncategorized products from getting indexed. The definition file format begins with a top-level item as a product and includes the properties of parent category and childskus. For each product, the set of Variant Producers configured in ProductCatalogOutputConfig is execute...

ATG CA - BCC home screen : how to add a new link

          Activity source is the property which controls the links on the left nav on the BCC home screen. All activity sources are registered with the ActivityManager component at /atg/bizui/activity/ActivityManager .

How to simulate Browser back button

When someone asks how to simulate a back button, they really mean to ask how to create a link that points to the previously visited page. Most browsers tend to keep a list of which websites the user has visited and in what order they have done so. The DOM window object provides access to the browser's history through the history object. Moving backward and forward through the user's history is done using the   back(), forward(), and go() methods of the  history  object. To move backward through history, just do window.history.back() ; This will act exactly like the user clicked on the Back button in their browser toolbar. Find below a sample html code: <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> function goBack(){  window.history.back() } </script> </head> <body>    <input type="button" value="Back" onclick="goBack()" /> </body> </html>

ATG search installation and search engine log files

Here I would like to explain how your ATG search folder structure looks like after you do the ATG search installation and also about the search engine log files. To get the ATG search, you need to install the ATGSearch<version>Windows.exe after you do the ATG installation. When you install ATG search, the generated folders include an OS dependant folder. In the below screen shot, you could see the "i686-win32-vc71" folder and this is generated since the ATG search ins installed in a windows machine. The ATG search engine is actually an exe file inside this "i686-win32-vc71" folder. Below screen shot give you an idea about the "atgsearch.exe", which is the search engine application. This search engine application (atgsearch.exe) is started by a remote launcher call from the BCC search administration UI.  The log files like "atgsearch_20120106112413_568.log" are the search engine log files where you could see the engine ...
