Advance Tax Trigger CheckLarge ESOP exercises may require employee to pay advance tax
ℹ If the TDS on ESOP exercise is insufficient to cover the employee's total tax liability, they must pay advance tax (15% Jun, 45% Sep, 75% Dec, 100% Mar). The system computes estimated shortfall.
| Employee | ESOP Perquisite | TDS Deducted | Est. Tax Liability | Advance Tax Required? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Suresh Kumar | ₹41,00,000 | ₹12,30,000 | ₹19,20,000 | Yes — shortfall ₹6,90,000 |
| Rohit Khanna | ₹19,20,000 | ₹5,76,000 | ₹6,00,000 | No — TDS sufficient |
Sale & Capital Gains Tracking
Post-exercise share sales · STCG / LTCG · Employer responsibility is TDS at exercise only; sale is employee's ITR
📜 Capital Gains on ESOP Share Sale

Holding Period — Unlisted Shares
