Statutory Compliance Calendar August 2026

August 2026 is a crucial compliance month for businesses and professionals in India. In addition to routine statutory obligations such as GST return filing, TDS/TCS deposits, professional tax, provident fund, and Employees’ State Insurance compliances, taxpayers must also ensure timely completion of various regulatory and reporting requirements under direct and indirect tax laws.

A key highlight of the month is the due date for filing income tax returns for tax year 2025-26 by taxpayers not subject to tax audit under the Income Tax Act, 2025. Businesses, employers, NBFCs, SEZ units, listed companies, and other regulated entities should closely monitor compliance deadlines to avoid interest, penalties, and regulatory consequences.

To help organizations stay compliant and manage their statutory responsibilities effectively, we have compiled the August 2026 Statutory Compliance Calendar, covering major obligations relating to taxation, GST, labour laws, FEMA/RBI regulations, SEBI compliances, and other regulatory filings.
