  ADVANCE TAX - Advance tax shall be payable during a financial year in every case where the amount of such tax payable by the assessee during that year, as computed  is ten thousand rupees or more.

Note - The Finance Act, 2012, provides that in case of a senior citizen, advance tax provisions would not apply in case such a senior citizen does not have income from business or profession. A senior citizen assessee can, therefore,discharge his tax liability at the time of filing the tax return and pay the tax under self-assessment scheme.
