<s>[INST] Does credit of TDS allowed while calculating advance tax? [/INST] As per section 208 of the income-tax Act, 1961, every person whose estimated tax liability for the year is INR 10,000 or more, after TDS (taxes deducted at source), shall pay advance tax.

Therefore, credit of TDS is to be taken while calculating the advance tax liability.

However, if the amount is given or credited by payer without deduction of tax then the benefit of TDS cannot be considered while calculating the advance tax liability. </s>
