How to read this calendar

Dates are derived from the recurrence recorded against each obligation. A monthly obligation repeats on the same day every month, and one that falls on a month end moves with the length of the month, so 30 June becomes 31 July and 28 February. Where a due date lands on a weekend or a declared holiday, the operative deadline may shift under the relevant statute.

This calendar is published for general guidance and does not constitute legal or tax advice. Applicability varies by headcount, entity type, registration and state. Please confirm your specific obligations with your advisor or with our team before you act on any date shown here.

03Beyond The Calendar

Three registers, one partner

A date on a calendar is a reminder. What regulators ask for is the filing, the challan, the register and the acknowledgement. We run payroll, labour and vendor compliance end to end for 1,000+ enterprises, and make it provable the day it is questioned.

01

Payroll Compliance

Every statutory deduction, remittance and return that rides on payroll, reconciled to the register before it is filed.

02

Labour and Employment

Registrations, registers, returns and inspections under central and state labour, industrial and employment law.

Shops and EstablishmentsCLRAFactories ActStatutory registersReturnsInspections
03

Vendor and Contractor

The principal-employer risk that sits with you, verified and closed before a contractor invoice is cleared.

04The Transition Underway

29 labour laws, four codes

India's central labour legislation is consolidating into four codes. The dates on this calendar will move with them, and so will the definitions underneath your payroll.

Code 01

Code on Wages

A single statutory definition of wages that now drives basic pay, PF, gratuity and bonus. We remodel salary structures so the change does not inflate cost or break compliance.

Code 02

Social Security

Broader coverage, including gratuity for fixed-term employees and new provisions for gig and platform workers. We map who becomes eligible and adjust contributions.

Code 03

Industrial Relations

New rules on standing orders, notice periods and worker classification. We update your policies and registers to match.

Code 04

Occupational Safety

Consolidated rules on working hours, leave, and health and safety returns. We align attendance, leave and filings.

  • Multi-state coverage with a single owner for every due date and every register
