Advance Tax/Self Assesment Tax and Interest u/s 234B and 234C


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 - quick reference to commonly used DSP Tags

In this blog, I would like to give a quick reference to the most commonly used DSP Tags.Note that in this DSP tag details : bean refers to a Nucleus path, component name, and property name param refers to a Page parameter value refers to a Static-value var refers to a EL variable id refers to a scripting variable ============================================================== 1.dsp:importbean     example: <dsp:importbean bean="/atg/dynamo/droplet/Switch"/> ============================================================== 2.dsp:page     usage: It encloses a JSP. The dsp:page invokes the JSP handler, which calls the servlet pipeline and generates HTTPServletRequest.    example:    <dsp:page> ..... </dsp:page> ============================================================== 3.dsp:include     usage: Embeds a page fragment in a JSP.     example:   <dsp:include src="/myPage/Result...

ATG - more about Forms and Form Handlers

An ATG form is defined by the dsp:form tag, which typically encloses DSP tags that specify form elements, such as dsp:input that provide direct access to Nucleus component properties. Find below a sample dsp:form tag.    <dsp:form action="/testPages/showPersonProperties.jsp" method="post" target="_top">      <p>Name: <dsp:input bean="/samples/Person.name" type="text"/>      <p>Age: <dsp:input bean="/samples/Person.age" type="text" value="30"/>      <p><dsp:input type="submit" bean="/samples/Person.submit"/> value="Click to submit"/>    </dsp:form>   When the user submits the form, the /samples/Person.name property is set to the value entered in the input field.Unlike standard HTML, which requires the name attribute for most input tags; the name attribute is optional for DSP form element tags. If an input tag omits the n...

ATG Search architectural flow : Search and Index

I would like to explain the high level ATG Search implementation architecture ( for an online store) through the above diagram. In this diagram 1.x denotes the search functionality and 2.x denotes the indexing functionality. I have given JBoss as the application server. Physical Boxes and Application Servers in the diagram ( as recommended by ATG )  : Estore ( Commerce ) Box --> The box with the estore/site ear (with the site JSPs and Java codes). Search Engine Box --> The box with the search engine application running. Indexing Engine Box --> The box with the indexing engine application running. CA (Content Administration) Box --> The box with the ATG CA ear ( where we could take CA -BCC - Search Administration and configure the search projects) . Search Indexer Box --> The box with the ATG Search Index ear ( to fetch the index data from repository). Note that the engine performing indexing will need access ...

Basic design decisions for a commerce search setup ( with an ATG Search view)

In this blog I would like to explain the basic set of configuration/design decisions needed to setup an ATG search project. Most of these design decisions are common for all Enterprise search applications. 1. Decide the searchable properties :   This means the properties that the business want the user to search in the ecommerce platform. In ATG search these are configured as the text properties in the product-catalog-output-config.xml ( the definitionFile of the \atg\commerce\search\ProductCatalogOutputConfig). Usually the displayName of product/sku, displayName of department/category/sub-category, skuId, brandName are the properties configured as searchable. 2. Decide the search refinement properties or the faceted properties :   After a user search for a keyword, search refinement is the next step done to filter his results. ATG supports the search refinement using the Faceted Search concept. Read more about facted search @...

ATG Search Indexing - behind the scene steps explained

Read more about the search indexing @  http://tips4ufromsony.blogspot.com/2011/11/atg-search-architectural-flow-search.html ATG search indexing involves index file creation, deploying and copying the index file to the search engine's box. The steps can be divided into Initial stage, Preparing Content, Indexing and Deploying. Please find below the detailed analysis of each step. 1. Initial stage:        a. Check whether the folder deployshare configured correctly @ LaunchingService.deployShare  ( \atg\search\routing\LaunchingService.deployShare ). Lets assume that it is configured to \Search2007.1\SearchEngine\i686-win32-vc71\buildedIndexFiles.        b. Lets assume that the index file folder ( \Search2007.1\SearchEngine\i686-win32-vc71\indexFiles)  has the following segments (folders) currently :                     66900...
