Monthly Compliance Calendar (FY 2026–27)

This statutory compliance calendar covers key monthly due dates applicable to most businesses in India. Missing even a single deadline can result in penalties, interest, or departmental notices.

The following compliances apply every month unless specified otherwise:

• GST: GSTR-1 (monthly) by 11th of the following month; QRMP scheme (if applicable) by 13th of the month following the quarter
• TDS/TCS: payment by 7th of the next month
• PF: contribution payment by 15th of the following month
• ESI: contribution payment by 15th of the following month
• Professional tax: due date varies by state, typically on or before the 15th

Retained clients receive a live calendar with reminders, owners, and filing status.

Disclaimer: due dates change with government notifications. This is not legal advice.

GST return cadence

GSTR-1 reports outward supplies; GSTR-3B is the summary return with tax payment. Due dates vary for monthly vs QRMP taxpayers and may stagger by state for 3B.

Annual returns (GSTR-9 / 9C where applicable) close the financial year, so plan reconciliations early to avoid last-minute ITC mismatches.

TDS and company law filings

TDS deposits are typically due by the 7th of the following month; quarterly returns (24Q, 26Q, etc.) follow prescribed due dates. Companies must file annual financials (AOC-4) and annual return (MGT-7) after AGM, plus event-based forms such as ADT-1 and DIR-3 KYC for directors.

Payroll & labour compliance

EPF and ESI contributions and returns follow establishment-specific rules. We help you register, add employees, and file ECR/challans on schedule so payroll does not block month-end close.

Annual and advance tax

Advance tax instalments fall on 15 June, September, December, and March for companies and certain taxpayers. Align books, tax audit (if applicable), and ROC filings in one timeline to avoid penalty cascades.
