Resources

Two tools, kept current

A live statutory calendar and a set of document checklists. Both are free to use, need no sign-up, and store nothing on this website.

Compliance calendar

What falls due next

Recurring statutory due dates for a business operating in Tamil Nadu, worked out from today's date and sorted nearest first. Anything within three weeks is highlighted.

Read this first. These are the standard statutory due dates. Extensions, sector exemptions and turnover thresholds change them regularly, and the dates that apply to a particular business depend on its constitution, registrations and turnover. Treat this as a prompt to check, not as advice you can rely on. Confirm with your advocate or chartered accountant before acting.
