Why a statutory compliance calendar matters

A statutory compliance calendar is a single schedule of all the recurring legal deadlines a business must meet across GST, TDS, income tax, payroll (PF/ESI) and ROC filings. Indian tax law runs on fixed monthly, quarterly and annual due dates, and missing any of them can trigger interest, late fees and penalties — and, in the case of TDS, even disallowance of expenses.

This compliance calendar for India (FY 2025-26) lists the key recurring and annual statutory due dates in one place and lets you filter by category, so finance teams and CA practices can plan ahead and never miss a filing.

Key monthly & annual deadlines

A handful of dates anchor every month for most businesses: the 7th for depositing TDS/TCS, the 11th for monthly GSTR-1, the 15th for PF and ESI payments, and the 20th for monthly GSTR-3B. On the annual side, advance tax falls due in four instalments (15 June, 15 September, 15 December and 15 March), income tax returns are due by 31 July (non-audit) or 31 October (audit cases), and the GST annual return (GSTR-9) is due by 31 December.

For CA firms managing multiple clients

For CA firms juggling dozens of clients, a shared statutory due dates calendar is essential to avoid missed filings and last-minute scrambles. Hidesc lets practices track every client’s GST, TDS, income tax, PF/ESI and ROC deadlines, assign tasks to team members and monitor status across the whole portfolio from one dashboard.
