If statutory deadline is met, seamless functioning is achieved; failure to do so will result in very costly penalties. The due dates of income tax, GST, labour law compliance and professional tax regulations across India have been consolidated into a compliance calendar for the month of April 2026. This will allow finance and HR departments to be fully aware of what is due on a timely basis.
At AKM Global, we assist with compliance to these obligations with confidence including timely filing of returns and complete end-to-end assistance with compliance.
It is in your best interest to record these important dates now and prepare any supporting documentation in advance to ensure accurate, timely remittances and return filings and to avoid any last-minute surprises.

Why Compliance Deadlines Deserve Your Full Attention
Missing a statutory deadline goes beyond just a paperwork problem. There are additional consequences - a disorganized payroll system; additional scrutiny and questions from regulators; a breakdown of trust from employees. When an employer fails to remit payroll taxes on time (for instance, EPF, ESIC and Professional Tax), it may result in interest liabilities, penalties and in some cases possibly even criminal proceedings against the responsible officers of the company.
For companies that operate in more than one state, there is additional complexity since each state has its own sets of deadlines, remittance formats, and rules. Keeping up with all these requirements means that it is necessary to have a structured compliance process that is proactive.
