India is one of the fastest-growing economies of the world. As the economy grows so does the number of compliances involved in the businesses. To bring more transparency in business processes government authorities keep on adding new compliances as per the requirement. With the growing number of compliances, it gets difficult for taxpayers and other entities to remember each and every due date. Here we have prepared a compliance calendar with due dates for GST filings, Tax compliance, annual compliance of Private Limited Company and LLPs. The following compliance calendar includes various acts like Income Tax Act[1], Goods & Service Tax, Companies Act, Provident Fund Act etc.
