Good to know

  • Treat every date here as the statutory date and plan to meet it. Only rely on an extension once it is officially notified.
  • Professional tax is paid on dates set by each state, so it isn't here.
  • A late TDS return costs ₹200 a day until it is filed, up to the amount of TDS. Interest on late deposit runs every month it is late, so pay on time even if the return is going to be late.

What changed this year, and the common mistakes, are in our guide, GST and TDS due dates for 2026-27, in one calendar.
