January 2027 Compliance Calendar
Every statutory due date falling in January 2027 - GST, TDS, income tax, ROC, PF, ESIC and profession tax - with the form, the period it covers and who it applies to.
January 2027 carries 16 statutory due dates for Indian businesses, spanning GST, TDS/TCS and payroll. The first falls on the 7th (TDS / TCS Deposit) and the last on the 31st (Maharashtra Profession Tax (PTRC)).
The heaviest date is the 15th, when 5 filings fall due together: Maharashtra LWF (Half-Yearly), Form 16A (TDS Certificate), TCS Return - Form 27EQ, EPF / ECR Payment and ESIC Contribution. Plan the working papers for these a few days ahead - the portals slow noticeably on peak dates.
