Compliance Calendar for Indian Businesses
The easiest way to avoid penalties is simple: stop depending on memory. Build a monthly/quarterly/annual compliance calendar with owners, evidence, and reminders.
Disclaimer: dates and applicability vary by entity type, turnover, state, scheme, and notifications.
Use this as a control framework and always verify due dates.
The hidden cost of missed compliance
Penalties are one part. The bigger cost is distractions, notices, and loss of credibility with banks/investors/vendors.
What a good compliance calendar includes
- Applicability (who needs it)
- Frequency (monthly/quarterly/annual)
- Due window (date range, not guesswork)
- Owner (person responsible)
- Evidence (payment challan, filing acknowledgement)
- Escalation if not done (T-3 days / due day / overdue)
CFO practice:
Track compliance like you track sales: dashboard + reminders + proof vault.

*Due windows are indicative. Actual due dates can vary and change via notifications.
How to make this actually work (not just a blog)
- Assign an owner for each compliance item
- Create a proof vault (challans + acknowledgements)
- Set reminders at T-7, T-3, Due-day
- Review compliance status in monthly MIS
Make compliance boring (that’s the goal).
The best compliance system is one you don’t think about — because reminders, owners, and proof are already in place.
