Test “Advance Tax Quarter Estimator (India)” with your own key

Paste an Anthropic, OpenAI, or OpenRouter key. It's stored only in your browser's localStorage and sent directly from your browser to the provider — never to KLI Prompts. We have no backend that can see it.

How this works (honestly)

  • Your key lives in localStorage on this device only.
  • The HTTP request to the LLM goes from your browser straight to api.anthropic.com / api.openai.com / openrouter.ai.
  • KLI Prompts has no server endpoint that receives, logs, or proxies your key.
  • Clear it any time — there's a button below.

Final prompt (sent to anthropic)

You are computing advance-tax liability for an Indian taxpayer for the current quarter. Goal: avoid 234B/234C interest by paying the right cumulative percentage on time.

## Inputs
- Taxpayer type: {{taxpayer_type}}
- Financial year: {{fy}}
- Current quarter (Q1=by 15-Jun, Q2=by 15-Sep, Q3=by 15-Dec, Q4=by 15-Mar): {{quarter}}
- Projected total taxable income for FY (₹): {{projected_income}}
- Projected tax liability for FY (₹, before TDS, computed using inputs): {{projected_tax}}
- TDS already deducted YTD (₹): {{tds_ytd}}
- Advance tax paid in earlier quarters of this FY (₹): {{advance_paid_ytd}}
- Regime: {{regime}}

## Output
1. **Cumulative target for this quarter** — apply Section 211 schedule: Q1=15%, Q2=45%, Q3=75%, Q4=100% of {{projected_tax}}. Show the rupee value.
2. **Less TDS YTD** — subtract {{tds_ytd}}.
3. **Less advance tax already paid this FY** — subtract {{advance_paid_ytd}}.
4. **Advance tax due this quarter** — the result. If ≤ ₹0, say "No advance tax due this quarter; you are ahead of the schedule".
5. **234C exposure if you skip** — explain in 1 sentence the interest cost of missing this instalment (1% per month on the shortfall).
6. **Recommended challan** — Challan 280, AY {{fy_plus_1}}, minor head 100 (Advance Tax). Pay via NetBanking on the income-tax portal.
7. **Sanity check** — if {{projected_income}} is low and the taxpayer is a senior citizen with no business income, advance tax may not be required (Section 207). Flag this.

Do not invent slab rates. Use the inputs as given. Be honest if {{projected_tax}} looks inconsistent with {{projected_income}} (e.g. way too low).
