How this works for Stripe
Advance tax applies when annual tax liability exceeds ₹10,000.
Under 44ADA: single payment by March 15 — simplest option.
Not under 44ADA: quarterly installments — Jun 15 (15%), Sep 15 (45%), Dec 15 (75%), Mar 15 (100%).
Estimate Stripe income for the year → calculate tax on deemed/actual profit → subtract TDS → pay balance.
Missing deadlines triggers interest under Section 234C (1% per month on shortfall).
Pay through income tax portal using Challan 280.
