March 2027 Compliance Calendar
Every statutory due date falling in March 2027 - GST, TDS, income tax, ROC, PF, ESIC and profession tax - with the form, the period it covers and who it applies to.
March 2027 carries 12 statutory due dates for Indian businesses, spanning GST, payroll, income tax and TDS/TCS. The first falls on the 7th (TDS / TCS Deposit) and the last on the 31st (Updated Return (ITR-U) / Form 67).
The heaviest date is the 15th, when 5 filings fall due together: Advance Tax - Q4 (100% cumulative), Maharashtra PT (PTRC) Annual Return, EPF / ECR Payment, ESIC Contribution and Maharashtra PT (PTRC) Monthly Return & Payment. Plan the working papers for these a few days ahead - the portals slow noticeably on peak dates.
In total that is 5 GST returns and 2 income tax items, alongside the recurring TDS deposit and payroll obligations. Dates below are indicative and can shift if CBDT, GSTN, MCA, EPFO or ESIC issue an extension circular.
