Payroll compliance calendar FY 2026-27

Choose what you handle and your states, add them to the calendar, then schedule reminders in your own calendar app. April 2026 to March 2027.

EPF, ESI and TDS are the same in every state. Pick one or more states for Professional Tax and Labour Welfare Fund.

Schedule reminders

We create one calendar file with the dates in your calendar. Open it to add them to Google Calendar, Outlook or Apple Calendar.

Remind me

Google Calendar: Settings, then Import and export, then Import. Outlook and Apple Calendar: open the downloaded file. Tip: import into a new calendar (for example “Payroll compliance”) so you can delete it and redo it if a date changes. Google Calendar may replace these reminders with its own default notifications, so check one event after importing.

Add your own event

Add anything else you track: a GST return, an advance tax instalment, a payroll input cut-off, a bonus run, an audit or a birthday. It appears on your calendar, in the calendar file, the image and the PDF.

GST is filed per registration. With more than one GSTIN, add one event for each and name the state here.

Your own events stay in this browser. They are not sent anywhere.
