Compliance Calendar Services in India | Marwal's Associates
Introduction: Why a Compliance Calendar Matters
Every business in India, regardless of size or sector, is bound by a recurring cycle of statutory obligations — monthly tax deposits, quarterly returns, half-yearly reviews, and annual filings. Missing even one deadline can trigger late fees, interest, penalty notices, or loss of good standing with regulatory authorities. Yet with so many overlapping due dates across GST, TDS, PF/ESI, ROC, and labour law, tracking compliance manually is a constant source of risk.
At Marwal's Associates, we build and manage a structured Compliance Calendar for your business — mapping every recurring obligation by frequency, sending timely reminders, and handling the filings themselves — so nothing slips through the cracks.
Below is a breakdown of the compliance activities we track and manage across every reporting cycle.
1. Monthly Compliance
Monthly compliance forms the backbone of day-to-day regulatory adherence. These recurring filings and deposits demand consistent, error-free execution.
GST Returns
We manage timely filing of monthly GST Returns (GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, and applicable returns), ensuring accurate reporting of outward and inward supplies and timely tax payment.
TDS Deposit
We track and ensure monthly TDS deposit deadlines are met, covering tax deducted on salaries, contractor payments, rent, and professional fees.
PF / ESI Deposit
We manage timely PF and ESI deposit compliance for your workforce, ensuring contributions are calculated correctly and remitted before the due date.
Payroll Closure
We support monthly payroll closure activities, ensuring salary computation, statutory deductions, and payslip generation align with compliance requirements.
Bank Reconciliation
We assist in monthly bank reconciliation, ensuring your books remain accurate and audit-ready, and discrepancies are identified early.
2. Quarterly Compliance
Quarterly obligations require broader review and consolidated filings, building on the monthly compliance foundation.
TDS Returns
We manage quarterly TDS Return filing (Form 24Q, 26Q, 27Q as applicable), ensuring accurate reporting of deductions and timely issuance of TDS certificates.
Board Meetings
We support companies in scheduling and documenting quarterly Board Meetings as required under the Companies Act, including minutes preparation and resolution tracking.
Advance Tax Payment
We calculate and track Advance Tax Payment obligations each quarter, helping you avoid interest under Sections 234B and 234C of the Income Tax Act.
MSME Dues Review
We conduct a quarterly MSME Dues Review, tracking payment timelines to MSME vendors to ensure compliance with the 45-day payment requirement under the MSME Development Act.
3. Half-Yearly Compliance
Half-yearly compliance activities involve broader reviews that consolidate multiple months of statutory data.
Labour Returns
We manage half-yearly Labour Returns filing as applicable under state and central labour laws, covering workforce and establishment data.
PF / ESI Review
We conduct a half-yearly PF/ESI Review, reconciling contribution records and identifying any gaps before they escalate into compliance issues.
Internal Compliance Review
We perform a structured Internal Compliance Review every half-year, assessing adherence across tax, labour, and corporate obligations to catch issues before annual filings.
4. Annual Compliance
Annual compliance activities are the most consequential, often carrying the highest penalties for delay or omission. We manage the complete annual filing cycle for your business.
Income Tax Return Filing
We handle timely Income Tax Return Filing for your business, ensuring accurate computation of income, deductions, and tax liability.
ROC Filing
We manage mandatory ROC (Registrar of Companies) Filing, including annual returns, financial statements, and other statutory forms required under the Companies Act.
GST Annual Return
We prepare and file the GST Annual Return (GSTR-9/9C), reconciling annual turnover and tax data with monthly filings submitted through the year.
Audit Completion
We coordinate Audit Completion activities, including statutory audit, tax audit, and other applicable audits, ensuring reports are finalized within prescribed deadlines.
License Renewals
We track and manage License Renewals across applicable business licenses, ensuring continuity of operations without lapses.
Director KYC
We handle annual Director KYC (DIR-3 KYC) filing for company directors, a mandatory requirement to keep DIN active.
POSH Annual Report
We assist in preparing and filing the POSH Annual Report, a mandatory disclosure under the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace Act.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1. What happens if a monthly GST return is filed late? Late filing of GST returns attracts late fees per day of delay, along with interest on any unpaid tax liability, and can also restrict your ability to claim input tax credit.
Q2. Is Advance Tax applicable to all businesses? Advance Tax applies to taxpayers, including businesses and professionals, whose estimated tax liability for the year exceeds the threshold specified under the Income Tax Act, payable in quarterly instalments.
Q3. How often does ROC filing need to be done? Most ROC filings, including annual returns and financial statements, are filed once a year, though certain event-based filings (such as changes in directors or registered office) are required as and when such events occur.
Q4. Is Director KYC required even if there are no changes to director details? Yes, DIR-3 KYC must be filed annually for every director holding a DIN, regardless of whether their details have changed, to keep the DIN active.
Q5. Why is a compliance calendar useful if I already have an internal accounts team? A compliance calendar adds a structured, cross-functional view across tax, labour, and corporate obligations — reducing the risk of a deadline being missed due to reliance on any single team or individual's memory.
