Salary, rent, company profits, capital gains, dividends, royalties, interest, and other forms of income are all classified as “income” in India. When your tax liability for a given financial year exceeds Rs.10,000, advance tax comes in. If you are a salaried employee, then you do not need to worry about making advance tax payments. Because your employer deducts tax at source (TDS) from your monthly wage and pays it to the government on behalf of you.

Salary income includes the basic pay, House Rent Allowance (HRA), Transportation Allowance, Special Allowance, and any other allowances for salaried individuals.
