Every Indian citizen or an NRI who earns or gets an income in India is subject to income tax. In order to pay income tax a specified period is allotted and the tax should be paid before the due date declared by the income tax department. The tax has to be paid for the income earned during the financial year (FY 2021-22), and the assessment year would be the immediate next year, i.e. 1st April 2022 to 31st March 2023. The year in which income tax returns are filed and the income for tax assessment is declared is the assessment year.
