Compliance Calendar

India statutory due dates — never miss a filing

Due in the next 10 days

Dated from today. Check which of these apply to you — answer the six questions below and we will narrow it.

in 4 days
PMT-06
GST payment for the quarter's first two months — if you file under QRMP
in 9 days
Tax audit report (44AB)
Form 3CA/3CB with 3CD, signed and uploaded by your auditor — due a month before the return, not with it — if your turnover crosses the 44AB audit threshold

Which of these are actually yours?

Six questions, asked once. Answer them and this page stops showing you other businesses’ deadlines.

QRMP means you file returns quarterly but pay tax monthly. If you are not sure which you are on, leave it — nothing will be hidden.

This decides whether the 15th-of-the-month PF and ESI deadline is yours.

Rent, contractors, professional fees, commission. This decides the monthly deposit and the four quarterly returns.

Private limited, LLP or public company — as opposed to a proprietorship or partnership firm. This decides the AOC-4 and MGT-7 ROC filings.

Your CA will know. It decides whether your income tax return is due on 31 July or 31 October — three months apart, so both dates stay visible until you tell us.

GSTR-7 and GSTR-8. This is uncommon — mostly government bodies and e-commerce operators.

These are your answers, not our assessment. Anything you leave as “I’m not sure” keeps showing, so nothing disappears because you skipped a question. Change them any time — your CA is the right person to ask about the audit one.
