April opens FY 2026-27 and is the heaviest month in the calendar: eight filings against the five that recur every month.
The three additions all look backwards rather than forwards. The TDS certificate and the MSME-1 half-yearly return close out the year that has just ended, and Form 10F sits with them. A month that feels like a fresh start is mostly a month of finishing.

These are the obligations we track for the standard statutory position. Sector rules, state-level professional tax and one-off events can add to them, and extensions can move a date. Ask us before relying on this for a filing.
