Compliance Calendar FY 2026-27: Build Your Own Date List

Compliance Calendar · FY 2026-27 Tool

Last reviewed: 25 September 2026. Generic compliance calendars fail for a simple reason: half the dates on them are not yours, so the whole list gets ignored — until one date that was yours goes by. This tool builds the opposite: switch on only what applies — GST (monthly or QRMP), TDS, company or LLP, Indian subsidiary of a foreign company, employer obligations, FSSAI, RERA, advance tax — and get a clean FY 2026-27 list of your dates only, printable, with the option of monthly WhatsApp reminders from our desk. Every date is drawn from our maintained guides, including the staggered ITR calendar and the triennial DIR-3 KYC rule. Income-tax returns and audits for AY 2026-27 (FY 2025-26) follow the 1961 Act, so those rows cite 1961 sections; advance tax for FY 2026-27 already falls under the Income-tax Act, 2025.

The full FY 2026-27 master table

The complete date set behind the tool, month by month (monthly recurring items — TDS by the 7th, GSTR-1 by the 11th, GSTR-3B by the 20th/22nd, PF/ESIC by the 15th, PTRC — repeat every month and sit above the tool's month cards):

Five dates that bite hardest for the rest of the year

• 30 September 2026 — tax audit report, company AGMs, and the RERA Form 5 CA certificate for FY 2025-26.
• 31 October 2026 — audited ITRs, Form 3CEB, the Q2 TDS statement, MSME-1 and FSSAI D2, with AOC-4 and LLP Form 8 on 30 October. Five filings stack in two days.
• 30 November 2026 — ITRs for transfer-pricing cases under section 92E, and MGT-7 a day earlier for companies that held the AGM on 30 September.
• 15 December 2026 — the 75% advance-tax checkpoint under section 408 (old 211); shortfalls carry interest under section 425 (old 234C), and a year-end shortfall under section 424 (old 234B).
• 31 December 2026 — the last date for a belated ITR for AY 2026-27 under section 139(4), with the 234F fee, and GSTR-9/9C for FY 2025-26. A revised return can still follow until 31 March 2027.

Indian subsidiaries of foreign companies

Switch on the "Indian subsidiary of a foreign company" profile in the tool to add the dates a foreign-owned company carries on top of the ROC spine: the FLA return by 15 July, Form 3CEB by 31 October and the ITR by 30 November where there are international transactions with the group, and event-based FEMA filings (FC-GPR within 30 days of an allotment to the foreign investor, FC-TRS within 60 days of a share transfer). Our foreign subsidiary accounting, CFO and FEMA service runs this calendar for Indian arms of overseas groups.

How to actually use a calendar (the part nobody does)

• Assign every date an owner — a date without a name is a wish.
• Set the internal deadline 5 working days early; reconciliations eat the buffer.
• Put the annual fees on it too — FSSAI's annual fee now carries a deemed-suspension cliff, and RERA extensions must precede expiry.
• Review the calendar every quarter — thresholds crossed mid-year (audit, e-invoicing, QRMP eligibility) change your list.
