Is the Compliance Calendar tool free?

Yes. Generating the personalised calendar, downloading the branded Excel tracker and ICS calendar file, and subscribing to email reminders are all free. Professional consultation is available for any deadline that needs personalised advice.

Which compliance areas are covered?

Eight authorities: GST (GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, QRMP returns and PMT-06, CMP-08 and GSTR-4 for composition dealers, GSTR-9, GSTR-9C, GSTR-8), MCA / ROC (AOC-4, MGT-7 / MGT-7A, ADT-1, DPT-3, MSME-1, LLP Forms 8 and 11, and the three-yearly DIR-3 KYC rule), Income Tax (advance tax, ITR filing, tax audit, transfer pricing report, belated and revised returns, partner TDS), TDS (monthly deposit, quarterly statements in Forms 138 / 140 / 144, Form 130 and 131 certificates), ESI (monthly contribution), EPF (monthly ECR), Labour (state Professional Tax, Gujarat labour welfare fund, POSH annual report), and RBI FEMA (FLA return and revised FLA for entities with FDI/ODI).

Which financial years does the calendar cover?

FY 2025-26 (AY 2026-27) filings still open in calendar 2026 — such as ITR, tax audit, AGM, AOC-4, MGT-7, GSTR-9 and LLP Form 8 — the full FY 2026-27 (Tax Year 2026-27) cycle, and the recurring FY 2027-28 deadlines up to May 2028.

How do you keep the dates up to date?

We monitor CBIC, MCA, CBDT, EPFO, ESIC, RBI, and state labour notifications and update the calendar after partner review. We never auto-publish — every date change is reviewed by a practising CA before it goes live. A 'Verified on' timestamp is shown on the results page.

Can I import the calendar into Google Calendar or Outlook?

Yes. The ICS file (.ics) can be imported into Google Calendar, Outlook, Apple Calendar, and most other calendar apps. Each event includes built-in T-7 day and T-1 day reminders that trigger inside the calendar app.

What is included in the Excel tracker?

A branded 5-sheet Microsoft Excel workbook: Overview (client + summary), Compliance Tracker (status dropdowns, conditional colours, auto-filter, Days Left formula, reference and remarks columns), Monthly View, By Authority, and How to Use. Every event carries the statutory basis reference for audit trail.

Will I get email reminders?

Opt-in only. If you choose to subscribe, you receive a digest every Monday listing that week's deadlines, plus a reminder email the day before each deadline relevant to your entity. You can unsubscribe at any time from any email.

Which industries have sector-specific compliances in the calendar?

Manufacturing (unified annual return under the OSH Code, Pollution Control Board renewal), IT / Software (SOFTEX until September 2026, then the monthly Export Declaration Form, and the STPI / SEZ Annual Performance Report), E-commerce (GSTR-8 TCS return under Section 52), Real Estate (RERA quarterly project update), Professional Services (ICAI firm constitution self-check), and Healthcare (Biomedical Waste annual return, Clinical Establishments Act renewal).

How does state-specific Professional Tax work?

Professional Tax dates vary by state. Gujarat — employer payments within 15 days after the month or quarter, plus the enrolment certificate (PTEC) payment by 30 September. Maharashtra — PTRC returns and payment by the 15th, annual return by 15 March. Karnataka — employer payments by the 20th. We pull the cadence for the state you select. States without PT (Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Haryana) do not see PT events.

Are my data and calendar stored?

Only the minimum needed to send reminders: your name, email, company name, and the entity profile you entered. No financial or PAN data is collected. Your form inputs are also saved in your browser so returning visits restore automatically. Privacy is handled per the DPDP Act, 2023.

Why trust this tool

Built by a practising CA firm, verified against official sources.

Every date in this calendar is cross-verified against the statutory source — the CGST Act, the Companies Act 2013, the LLP Act 2008, and the Income-tax Act (and where relevant, its ITA 2025 equivalent). We note the section, rule, or notification for every event.

Regulatory dates do change. When CBIC or MCA issues a circular extending a deadline, we update the calendar only after a partner at the firm has reviewed it. We never auto-publish. Reminder emails are built from the latest reviewed dates each time they are sent.
