The single view most founders don't have

Most founders don't miss deadlines because they're careless — they miss them because the deadlines live in five different places: a GST due date here, a TDS deposit there, an ROC filing on a different cadence entirely, and payroll statutory dates layered on top. Nobody holds the full picture, so something slips.

We build and maintain one compliance calendar specific to your entity — mapping every GST, TDS, ROC, payroll and income-tax due date you actually owe, based on your entity type, registrations and turnover — and keep it current as thresholds and rules change.

Why a generic calendar doesn't work

A template compliance calendar off the internet includes filings that may not apply to you and misses entity-specific ones that do. Ours is built from your actual registrations, not a generic checklist.

What you get

What's included

The calendar service typically bundles with active filing management:

Entity-specific mapping

Every due date mapped to your actual registrations — GST, TDS, ROC, PF/ESI, income tax.

Advance reminders

Alerts sent well ahead of each deadline, not on the day, giving time to gather documents.

Live updates

The calendar is updated as your registrations, headcount or turnover change what applies.

Filing status tracking

A running view of what's filed, what's pending and what's coming up next.

Document checklist

Each upcoming deadline comes with exactly what documents or approvals we need from you.

Annual planning view

A full-year view so you can plan cash flow around known statutory payment dates.

How it works

How we build and run your calendar

1. Registration audit

We review every registration your entity holds — GST, TDS, PF/ESI, ROC — to determine the exact filing obligations.

2. Calendar build

Every applicable due date for the year is mapped, with reminder checkpoints set ahead of each one.

3. Ongoing management

The calendar runs live — updated whenever a new registration, employee threshold or rule change adds or removes an obligation.

Typical timeline

Your initial calendar is built within 3–5 working days of registration review; it then runs continuously, updated as your compliance profile changes.

What's at stake

Why a missed date is the most common — and most avoidable — penalty

Almost every penalty a growing company pays traces back to the same root cause: not a dispute, not an aggressive tax position, just a date that slipped. The Indian compliance year isn't one deadline; it's dozens, scattered across departments that don't talk to each other, each with its own cadence and its own penalty for lateness.

GST returns fall around the 11th and 20th of each month. TDS challans are due by the 7th, and TDS returns quarterly. PF and ESI have their own monthly deposit dates. Professional tax varies by state. Advance tax lands four times a year. ROC forms cluster after year-end, and the income-tax return has its own deadline entirely. On any given week of the year, something is due — and because none of these prompt you the way an invoice or a payroll run does, the ones that slip are invisible right up until the late fee, the interest, or the notice makes them visible.

The cost isn't only the penalty. A pattern of late filings quietly builds a compliance record that lenders and investors can see, and that raises the department's interest in you. Conversely, a clean, on-time record is one of the cheapest forms of credibility a company can build — it just requires that nothing ever falls through the cracks.

The real failure mode

Most missed deadlines aren't due to inability — they're due to ownership. When "someone" is responsible for the calendar, no one is. A compliance calendar works only when every date has a named owner, a reminder ahead of time, and a buffer built in before the statutory cut-off.

Where it fits

The calendar is the control that ties it all together

A compliance calendar isn't a spreadsheet of dates — it's the operating system for everything else in this section. It maps every obligation your specific business carries: GST returns, TDS challans and returns, PF/ESI and professional tax under payroll, advance tax, and the annual ROC filings — then assigns each a lead time, an owner and a buffer so the work happens before the deadline, not on it.

We build the calendar around your actual registrations and turnover, run it as a live schedule rather than a static list, and pair it with clean monthly accounting so the numbers each filing needs are always ready. The point isn't to remind you of deadlines — it's to make sure you never have to think about them.

Common belief

"I've got the big dates in my head — I don't need a calendar."

The reality

There are dozens of dates across five-plus departments, and they shift with your turnover and headcount. The one you forget is the one that costs you.

Common belief

"A reminder app is enough."

The reality

A reminder tells you something is due; it doesn't do the reconciliation, prepare the return, or file it. A calendar is only useful when it's wired to the work.

Cost

Pricing

The calendar itself is typically bundled with our compliance retainer, which also covers the actual filing work. See our pricing page for indicative ranges, or get an exact, itemised quote in one call.

Answers

Frequently asked questions

Is the calendar just a list, or do you also file for me?+
Both — the calendar is the planning layer; our compliance retainer handles the actual filing for each item on it, so nothing needs manual follow-up from you.
How do you handle deadline changes announced by the government?+
We track official notifications and update your calendar the moment a due date shifts, so you're never working off stale information.
Will this work if I already use accounting software with reminders?+
Yes — the calendar complements any tool you use; the value is in it being scoped to your actual entity, not a generic template.
What if I add a new state or registration mid-year?+
We update your calendar immediately to reflect the new obligations that registration brings.
