Why a calendar helps
It prevents missed deadlines and the penalties that follow. We can map one for your business.
What a year's calendar typically holds
A practical compliance calendar for a small Indian company maps the recurring dates across the year. Monthly: TDS deposit by the 7th, GST returns (GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B) by their dates, and PF, ESI and professional tax by the 15th (the PT date varies by state). Quarterly: TDS returns (24Q and 26Q) and the advance-tax instalments on 15 June, 15 September, 15 December and 15 March. Annually: the statutory audit and AGM, AOC-4 within 30 days and MGT-7 within 60 days of the AGM, DIR-3 KYC by 30 September, DPT-3 by 30 June, the income-tax return (31 October for audit cases), and the tax-audit report by 30 September where applicable. Half-yearly: MSME-1 where dues to small suppliers stay outstanding. The exact list depends on the entity type — a proprietor or LLP has a lighter set than a company — and on the registrations held. Building the calendar at the start of the financial year, with each form’s trigger, owner and due date, turns a scattered set of obligations into a routine and is the simplest way to avoid the per-day late fees several of these forms carry.
