Mat book profit pe lagta he jab ki advance tax to net total iincome pe lagta he.
Book profit cant be estimated but net income can be estimated to pay advance tax.

MAT - It is a tax which is payable by only a Company, either domestic or foriegn, if the amount of Tax computed as per the normal provisions is lower than 18% of Book Profit (Sec.115JB). This is the mode for computing the Taxaable Income & Tax thereon in any assessment year.
Advance Tax - It is the mode of payment of Tax. Everyone (either Individual or HUF, Company or Trust), if there Tax payment Liability exceeds Rs.10,000/- is require to estimate there tax liability in advance in Previous year itself and pay the Tax in that year.

1. Yes, A salaried person is require to deposit the advance tax if his advance tax liability exceeds 10,000/- (as per Section 208)
Advance Tax Liability= Tax computed on the Estimated Gross Total Income-TDS-Relief u/s 89/90/90A/91-MAT Credit.
Every Assessee is require to estimate its income for previous year in such p/y itself.
Total Income of Your Co. be 70Lacs (i.e. 10+20+15+25). Hence, Co. shall require to submit Rs.3.24Lacs by 15th June.

dear Vineet ,
there is still confusion, Pl help me
If tax liability exceeds 10000, then should TDS on salary not be deducted or we should do both simultaneously.

1. As per Section 192, every employer is require to deduct TDS on salary payable by him.
However, if TDS is not deducted by the employer, then, Assessee shall himself pay the Tax. (Section-191)
Lets take examples:-
a. Total Tax of Assessee-Rs.12,000 and whole TDS has been deducted. then, No Advance Tax is Payable.
b. Total Tax of Assessee-Rs.12,000 and no TDS has been deducted. Then, Advance Tax is Payable-12,000.
c.Total Tax of Assessee-Rs.12,000 and TDS has been deducted-3,000. then, No Advance Tax is Payable.
The Law provides that if the Adance Tax Liability as computed by the earlier formula exceeds Rs.10,000/-, then he is require to pay Advance Tax otherwise not.

Section 191 & 192 go simultaneously. If employer deduct TDS, then no Advance Tax. If Employer did not deduct TDS, then Advance Tax is payable.

Dear Vineet
Pl clarify
in attached sheet above since we dont know in begining of year that our profit would be 70 lacs. in the first qtr our profit is 10 lacs but as per computation advance tax comes 3.24 when we compute the tax on 21.63. But in first QTR we should compute the tax on 10 lacs only. and tax is computed on 10 lacs , figure will change Pl give clarification for each qtr like wise , Pl it is urgent

Advance Tax is payable on Estimated Income of an Assessee.
The question as regard to income is not computable in the beginning of the year is redundant. Because, every assessee has a knowledge about of his total income of Business, to be shown by him in his return and the Govt also know this fact.
The framework of the Advance Tax provision is done after keeping the above view.
For eg: I know the Income of my business for the A/Y-12 13 be 20Lacs. I will pay advance tax accordingly. If my income exceeds, then I am require to pay interest. There is no penalty for less deposit of Tax.
While taking a loan or o/d limit, You estimates your future income & profitability. Same estimation is require to be made in comp. of Advance Tax.
You are not require to pay advance tax on Actual Income. All the adjustment is done in Assessment Year while furnishing a return of Income.
