Build Your Statutory Compliance Calendar — PF, ESI, GST, TDS & Professional Tax
Get a personalized month-by-month due date calendar based on your registrations and state. Built for quick reference — always verify against official notifications before filing. Free, no signup, nothing saved.
What this calendar covers: PF, ESI, GST, TDS, and Professional Tax — the five most common recurring statutory obligations for Indian employers.
What it doesn't cover: industry-specific licenses, Shops & Establishment renewals, labour welfare fund, or sector-specific registrations (e.g., factories, contract labour). If you operate in multiple states, generate a separate calendar per state for Professional Tax accuracy.
What is a Compliance Calendar?
A compliance calendar is a structured list of every statutory due date your business is obligated to meet — payments, return filings, and certificate issuances — organized by month. For most Indian businesses, this spans four or five regulatory bodies, each with its own filing cycle, portal, and penalty structure.
Why Statutory Due Dates Matter
Missing a compliance deadline rarely means a simple late fee. PF and ESI delays accrue daily interest and can trigger inspections. GST late filing blocks input tax credit claims and can suspend e-way bill generation. TDS delays compound interest and per-day penalties under Section 234E. A single missed quarterly filing can cascade into months of correction work.
PF, ESI, GST, TDS and PT — A Quick Overview
PF (Provident Fund): Mandatory retirement savings contribution, paid monthly by the 15th, applicable once employee count crosses the statutory threshold.
ESI (Employee State Insurance): Medical and cash benefit scheme funded by employer/employee contributions, with monthly payments and half-yearly returns.
GST (Goods & Services Tax): Indirect tax with filing frequency (monthly, QRMP, composition) depending on turnover and scheme.
TDS (Tax Deducted at Source): Income tax withheld on payments, deposited monthly and reported quarterly.
PT (Professional Tax): State-levied tax on employment/professions — rates, dates and even applicability vary significantly by state.
Benefits of Staying Compliant
Beyond avoiding penalties, a clean compliance record protects your ability to raise funding, pass vendor due-diligence checks, participate in government tenders, and maintain employee trust around timely PF/ESI credit.

Registrations Applicable
This is a reference tool, not legal or tax advice. Due dates are compiled from publicly available rules and may not reflect the latest notifications, extensions, or your specific entity type. Some dates (especially Professional Tax and ESI half-yearly cycles) carry lower confidence and are flagged accordingly — confirm all dates with your CA, compliance officer, or the relevant government portal before filing or making payments.

"High-risk" means this filing involves an actual payment — these accrue interest immediately if missed. Return-only filings (without payment) are still penalized but classified separately.

Late filing of GSTR-3B attracts a late fee of ₹50 per day (₹20/day for nil returns), capped per the latest CBIC notification, plus interest at 18% per annum on outstanding tax. Continued non-filing can block GST registration and e-way bill generation.
Employer PF contributions and the ECR filing are due by the 15th of every month for the previous month's wages, under Para 38 of the EPF & MP Act, 1952.
ESI registration is mandatory for establishments with 10 or more employees in most states (some states set the threshold at 20), drawing wages up to the prescribed ceiling.
QRMP (Quarterly Return Monthly Payment) is a GST scheme for taxpayers with turnover up to ₹5 crore, allowing quarterly GSTR-3B filing with monthly tax payment via PMT-06.
Late TDS deposit attracts 1.5% interest per month under Section 201(1A). Late return filing additionally attracts ₹200/day under Section 234E, up to the TDS amount.
At least quarterly, and immediately after any union budget or CBDT/CBIC/EPFO circular, since due dates and thresholds are periodically revised.
No. Professional Tax is a state subject — some states like Delhi and Haryana do not levy it at all, while others have different rates, slabs and filing cycles. Always check your specific state's rules.
Failure to register can result in retrospective contribution demands with interest and damages under Section 14B of the EPF Act, plus possible prosecution for willful default.
Yes, a correction statement can be filed on the TRACES portal to fix errors in challan details, PAN mismatches, or deductee details after the original TDS return is submitted.
PT payment is the actual tax remittance to the state treasury, while the PT return is the statutory statement declaring the tax deducted and deposited. Some states combine both into a single filing; others require them separately.
Mostly stable, but governments periodically extend deadlines or revise frequency (e.g., GST QRMP thresholds, ESI half-yearly dates). Always check the rule version and last-updated date shown on this tool.
