Start with a compliance inventory
- Entity and annual filings
- Income-tax and tax-audit position
- GST registrations and return frequency
- TDS obligations
- Payroll, PF and ESI
- Local or industry licences
- Board, partner and ownership events
Assign an owner and evidence
Every obligation should have an internal owner, external support owner if any, source records, review date and proof of completion. A reminder without records is not a control.
Review after every business change
Hiring, a new office, interstate expansion, funding, director or partner change and new product lines can create new obligations. Update the calendar when the business changes rather than only once a year.
Frequently asked questions
Can one calendar work for every startup?
No. Obligations depend on entity, tax registrations, employees, industry and transactions.
Are due dates always fixed?
Some dates or relaxations can change; confirm the current period from official sources.
