Let us know what things you need to pay most attention to in the next month and what changes are taking place…
Advance Tax Deadline June 2026: Penalty if June 15 deadline is missed
The biggest update of the month of June is regarding advance tax. Under the new Income Tax Act, the first last date for paying tax has been fixed as June 15, 2026. If your total tax liability in a year exceeds ₹ 10,000, then you will have to deposit 15% of your total tax as advance tax to the government by this date. If you forget to make this payment by June 15, then according to the new rules you will have to pay penalty (interest) at the rate of 1% every month. Therefore, do not delay and settle it in time.
Big relief to working people
If you are a salaried employee and are using the old tax system, then there is some great news for you from the government. The limits of many allowances have now been increased significantly. Earlier, the tax exemption available for children’s education was only ₹ 100 per month, which has now been directly increased to ₹ 3,000 per month (per child). The rebate on children’s hostel expenses has also been increased to ₹9,000 per month. If you live in a rented house in cities like Bengaluru, Pune, Hyderabad or Ahmedabad, now you too have been included in the category of 50% HRA tax exemption. This will result in good savings in your in-hand salary.

If you prefer to invest in fixed income or safe government schemes, the Finance Ministry has not made any change in the interest rates for the current quarter (April to June). That means you will continue to get strong returns like before.

Along with this, increased Securities Transaction Tax (STT) will also be applicable on derivatives, in which 0.05% will have to be charged on futures and 0.15% on options trading.
