There will be MONTHLY PAYMENT AS EARLIER. There is NO QUARTERLY PAYMENT.
There are two system of payment:
- Pay on self assessment basis as earlier.
- Pay 35 % of tax paid in last quarter in first two month and remaining in last month of quarter. In this method if your last quarter sale were more then you will end up paying more tax and if your last quarter sale were less than current period then you may have to pay less temporarily and full payment in last month of quarter.
For quarterly filers, there were problem that bills were reflected on the portal on 3 month leading to holding of payment by your clients. That has been solved.
