You can Pay tax at any time before to filing of income tax return for F.Y 2013-14. It is only Rs.4000 means you not liable for payment of advance tax so you can pay it as self assessment tax at the time of filing of income tax return for F.Y 2013-14.
As per section 139(1) the due date to file income tax return for F.y 2013-14 is 31-7-2014, so you can file your return of income for F.Y 2013-14(A.y 2014-15) from 1-4-2014 to 31-7-2014 u/s 139(1).
After 31-7-2014 also you can file your return of income u/s 139(4) but in this case you are liable to pay interest u/s 234A @1% p.m or part of the month on self assessment.

By following others advise I paid my income tax Rs. 4000/- as advance tax on dtd 12/03/2013. It will cause any problem from IT Dept. to me for paying tax amount as advance tax rather than self assessment tax
