GST Return Due Date Calendar

Staying compliant with Indian tax regulations requires tracking multiple recurring deadlines across different departments. This comprehensive calendar covers not just GST filings (GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, GSTR-4, GSTR-9), but also crucial statutory compliance deadlines like Advance Tax instalments, TDS payments, and EPF/ESI contributions.

Monthly vs. QRMP Filers: If your aggregate annual turnover is up to ₹5 Crore, you can opt for the Quarterly Return Monthly Payment (QRMP) scheme. Under QRMP, your GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B filing deadlines shift from monthly to quarterly (e.g., the 13th of the month following the quarter for GSTR-1). However, you must still make monthly tax payments using form PMT-06.

Consequences of Missing Dates: Failing to file on time triggers mandatory late fees (₹20/day for Nil returns, ₹50/day otherwise) and interest charges at 18% per annum on the unpaid tax liability. Prolonged non-compliance can lead to the suspension or cancellation of your GST registration, blocking your buyers from claiming Input Tax Credit (ITC).
