Statutory Due Date Calendar
| Compliance Area | Form | Frequency | Typical Due Date |
|---|---|---|---|
| GST | GSTR-1 (outward supplies) | Monthly (or quarterly under QRMP) | 11th of the following month |
| GST | GSTR-3B (summary return & tax payment) | Monthly (or quarterly under QRMP) | 20th of the following month |
| GST | GSTR-9 / 9C (annual return) | Annual | 31 December following the financial year |
| TDS | Tax deposit | Monthly | 7th of the following month (31 March deductions by 30 April) |
| TDS | TDS return (24Q, 26Q, etc.) | Quarterly | Last day of the month following the quarter |
| PF / ESI | Contribution payment | Monthly | 15th of the following month |
| ROC | AOC-4 (financial statements) | Annual, event-based from AGM | Within 30 days of the AGM |
| ROC | MGT-7 / MGT-7A (annual return) | Annual, event-based from AGM | Within 60 days of the AGM |
| Income Tax | ITR (non-audit cases) | Annual | 31 July following the financial year |
| Income Tax | ITR (audit cases) | Annual | 31 October following the financial year |
Dates shift when they fall on a holiday, or when the government issues an extension notification. Confirm the exact due date for your filing period on the GST, Income Tax or MCA portal before relying on it.
What It Costs to Miss a Deadline
| Compliance | Late fee / interest |
|---|---|
| GSTR-1 / GSTR-3B | ₹50 per day (₹25 CGST + ₹25 SGST) for returns with tax liability; ₹20 per day for nil returns, subject to a per-return cap |
| GST tax payment | 18% per annum interest on the unpaid tax, calculated daily from the due date |
| TDS return (Section 234E) | ₹200 per day, capped at the TDS amount |
| TDS deposit | Interest of 1% per month for late deduction, 1.5% per month for late deposit, from the relevant date |
| AOC-4 / MGT-7 (ROC) | ₹100 per day per form, with no upper cap |
| Income tax return (Section 234F) | Up to ₹5,000 for filing after the due date |
These figures reflect current published rates; they can change through government notification, so confirm before you calculate an actual liability. The exact consequence also depends on the specific filing, the period involved and whether it's a first-time or repeated default — not every missed deadline is treated the same way.
What Is Statutory Compliance?
Statutory compliance covers the legal and regulatory obligations a business takes on once it starts operating:
-
Periodic tax filings (GST, TDS, income tax)
-
Corporate filings (ROC, MCA)
-
Accounting and financial records
-
Annual company compliance
-
Employee-related statutory requirements
-
Record maintenance and regulatory documentation
-
Responses to applicable notices
The exact requirements depend on your business structure, activities, turnover, employee count, registrations held and the applicable law. A compliance system should be built around your actual obligations, not a standard checklist applied to every business.
Why Ongoing Compliance Matters
-
Deadline awareness — a compliance calendar reduces the risk of missing a filing.
-
Proper records — accounting, invoices, payroll and tax documents maintained as required.
-
Less last-minute work — regular management surfaces missing information before a deadline.
-
Manageable notices — good records make responding to regulatory queries easier.
-
Supports growth — clean compliance records matter when raising funding, bidding for tenders or entering partnerships.

| MSMEs | Managing growing volumes: tax filings, accounting, payroll, TDS, GST, employee-related compliance and annual requirements |
| Private companies & LLPs | Additional corporate obligations: annual filings, financial statements, board documentation, plus tax, GST, TDS and accounting |
| Established businesses | Coordinating a full calendar across finance, tax, corporate reporting and employees, rather than tracking one filing at a time |
Industries We Support
We work with businesses across SaaS and technology, manufacturing, retail and e-commerce, healthcare, and professional and creative services — each with its own mix of GST, TDS, payroll and corporate filing obligations depending on structure and activity.
Compliance Health Check
Not sure if past filings were done correctly? A review can examine pending filings, filing history, accounting records, GST and TDS records, income tax position, corporate filings, statutory registers, employee-related records, licence renewals, outstanding notices and documentation gaps. If issues turn up, the right next step depends on what they are and which rules apply, so we assess case by case rather than applying a single fix.

Frequently Asked Questions
Applicable tax, accounting, corporate, employee and regulatory responsibilities, including GST, TDS, income tax, ROC filings and bookkeeping. The exact requirements vary by business.
Not entirely. GST and TDS payments are typically monthly, TDS returns and some GST filers are quarterly, and ROC and income tax filings are mostly annual or event-based (like AOC-4 and MGT-7 after your AGM).
There's no fixed market rate; cost depends on your transaction volume, filing frequency and whether you need reconciliation support. We quote after reviewing your GST activity.
AOC-4 is generally due within 30 days of your AGM, and MGT-7 within 60 days. Since these are tied to your AGM date rather than a fixed calendar day, confirm the exact deadline against your company's AGM.
You're liable for a late fee (typically ₹50 per day for returns with tax liability, ₹20 per day for nil returns, subject to a cap) plus 18% per annum interest on any unpaid tax. Late GSTR-1 can also block your GSTR-3B filing.
It depends on transaction volume, the number of bank accounts, GST registration status and reporting frequency. We scope this after understanding your current records.
A late TDS return attracts a fee under Section 234E of up to ₹200 per day, capped at the TDS amount, plus interest of 1% to 1.5% per month depending on whether the default is late deduction or late deposit.
Yes. Many startups use external support when they don't have in-house resources or expertise for GST, TDS, ROC and accounting obligations.
The right next step depends on which filing, the period involved and applicable rules. A compliance review identifies what's pending and what to do about it.
Yes, across bookkeeping, GST filing, income tax filing, ROC annual compliance and TDS returns.
Yes, across Chennai and nearby commercial and industrial areas.
Ongoing monitoring works better than an annual check alone. A periodic internal review helps catch missed deadlines, record gaps and upcoming requirements early.
No. We assist with the applicable compliance activities, but your business and its responsible officers remain legally responsible for meeting your obligations.
Keep Your Business Compliance on Track
Compliance is easier to manage when requirements, records and deadlines are organised before they become urgent. Whether you're a startup building your first compliance system, an MSME managing growing operations or an established company that needs structured support, we can help.
