What compliances apply to my business?
Tell us your entity type, whether you are GST registered, your scale, and whether you deduct TDS or employ people. We list only the filings that actually apply — GST, income tax, TDS, ROC and payroll — each with its cadence and the reason it applies.
Your business
Two thresholds straddle these bands — ₹1 crore for the tax audit and ₹2 crore for GSTR-9. Where that happens, the item below says so.
Any TDS on salary, rent, professional fees or contractor payments.
What applies to a proprietor
2 areas
4 recurring obligations across 2 areas of compliance, on the answers you gave.
GST
Under ₹5 crore you can opt into QRMP: file GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B quarterly, but still pay tax monthly.
Income tax
Proprietors file ITR-3, or ITR-4 if you are presumptive under 44AD / 44ADA. The business income sits in your personal return.
Four instalments (15 Jun, 15 Sep, 15 Dec, 15 Mar) if your tax for the year is likely to exceed ₹10,000.
A tax audit begins above ₹1 crore turnover, and your band straddles it. The limit rises to ₹10 crore if cash receipts and payments are each 5% or less.
This is the map. Taxlabs walks the route.
Inside Taxlabs these obligations become your own calendar — every return dated, documents collected as they fall due, and a reminder before each deadline rather than after.
Frequently asked
What compliance does a small business need in India?
Every business files an annual income tax return, and pays advance tax if its yearly tax is likely above ₹10,000. Add GST returns if registered, TDS returns if it deducts tax, ROC filings if it is an LLP or company, and PF/ESI/professional tax once it has employees. This tool lists the ones that apply to your specific profile.
Is GST filed monthly or quarterly?
Turnover above ₹5 crore files GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B monthly. Below ₹5 crore you can opt into QRMP — file both returns quarterly while still paying tax monthly. GSTR-9, the annual return, is separate and applies above ₹2 crore turnover.
When is a tax audit required?
A tax audit under section 44AB applies once turnover crosses ₹1 crore. That limit rises to ₹10 crore where cash receipts and cash payments are each 5% or less of the total — which covers most digitally-run businesses. Professionals have a separate ₹50 lakh limit.
What ROC filings does an LLP have versus a company?
An LLP files Form 11 (annual return) by 30 May and Form 8 (statement of accounts) by 30 October. A private limited company files AOC-4 for its financials and MGT-7 for its annual return after the AGM, and every director files DIR-3 KYC by 30 September.
