In India, there are three types of years. There are normal birthdays that you celebrate. That is the year that you consider aging is called the calendar year. It starts from Jan and ends in December. The next financial year. This is the year starting from April and ending in March. The current financial year starts from April 2024 and ends in March 2025. The year in which you pay income tax on the income that you have earned in the previous year. That is called the assessment year. This comes right after the financial year.
