AY is theassessment year and FY is the financial year. ... Theassessment year for income earned during this period would begin after the financial year ends–that is on 1 April 2016 till 31 March 2017. Hence, the assessment yearwould be AY2016-17.
Income earned during a FINANCIAL YEAR ,for this we file the returns and asses the income and the income tax only in the next year hence the ASSESSMENT YEAR is that during which we asses the income and income tax and file the returns
Assessment year: The year in which income is assessed for payment of taxes.
Previous year: The year in which income is earned. Previus year starts when source of income comes into existence
