Which dates are these?
Standard due dates under the CGST Act and rules as of FY 2026-27. The government sometimes extends dates by notification; we update the calendar when that happens, but always confirm on the GST portal for the current month.
QRMP: 22nd or 24th?
Quarterly GSTR-3B is due on the 22nd for Chhattisgarh, MP, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Goa, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, AP and the southern UTs, and the 24th for all other states and UTs.
What happens if I miss a date?
Late fee of ₹50 per day (₹20 for nil returns) capped by turnover, plus 18% interest on tax paid late. Use the late fee calculator to estimate.
About the gst due date calendar tool
GST compliance in India is a set of recurring dates, and missing one costs money the same day: ₹50 a day late fee on GSTR-3B and GSTR-1, 18 percent interest on tax paid late, and for repeat defaulters a blocked e-way bill. The dates depend on how you file. Regular monthly filers file GSTR-1 by the 11th and GSTR-3B by the 20th. Businesses under the QRMP scheme (turnover up to ₹5 crore) file both quarterly, with GSTR-3B due on the 22nd or 24th of the month after the quarter depending on the state. Composition dealers pay quarterly through CMP-08 by the 18th and file GSTR-4 annually by 30 June.
Most owners keep these dates in their head or rely on the CA's WhatsApp message, which arrives late or not at all in a busy month. The QRMP 22nd versus 24th split confuses even accountants, and non-GST dates (TDS by the 7th, PF and ESI by the 15th, advance tax on 15 June, September, December and March) live in different heads. The calendar puts them all on one page for your filing type and state, and if you are logged in, sends an email reminder 5 days and 1 day before each date and shows the next few dates on your dashboard.
The calendar sits next to the tools that produce the numbers. Invoices give your GSTR-1 outward supplies, purchase bills with the ITC toggle give the GSTR-3B input credit, the payroll run gives the PF and ESI totals due on the 15th. If a date has already passed, the GST Late Fee Calculator tells you what the delay costs.
How to set up GST due date reminders
- 1
Choose your filing type
Pick Regular monthly, QRMP (quarterly) or Composition. If you are not sure, your GST portal profile shows the return frequency, or ask your CA.
- 2
Set your state
For QRMP, the GSTR-3B date is the 22nd in some states and the 24th in others. The calendar reads the state from your business profile and applies the right one.
- 3
Add the non-GST dates
Tick TDS (7th), PF and ESI (15th) and advance tax (15 June, 15 September, 15 December, 15 March) if they apply to you, so the calendar shows one compliance view.
- 4
Turn on reminders
Sign in with Google or email OTP and enable reminders. You receive an email 5 days before and 1 day before each due date, and the upcoming dates appear as a widget on your dashboard.
- 5
File and mark done
When the return is filed, mark the date done so the widget moves to the next one. If you missed it, open the Late Fee Calculator to see what to pay along with the return.
Key GST and compliance due dates

- If a due date falls on a public holiday, the portal generally allows filing on the next working day, but do not rely on it; check with your CA.
Who uses the gst due date calendar
Small traders under QRMP
A hardware store in Raipur (a 22nd state) under QRMP gets the reminder 5 days before the quarterly GSTR-3B, pays PMT-06 monthly on the 25th, and never again pays a late fee for confusing the 22nd with the 24th.
Service businesses filing monthly
A digital agency in Gurugram files monthly. The 11th and 20th reminders land in the founder's inbox, and the dashboard widget shows how many days remain.
Composition dealers
A sweet shop under composition tracks CMP-08 on the 18th of April, July, October and January, and GSTR-4 by 30 June, with no other GST returns to worry about.
CA firms managing many clients
A CA office uses the public calendar as the reference for monthly and QRMP clients across states, and sends staff the 22nd/24th list at the start of each quarter.
GST Due Date Calendar: frequently asked questions
- When is GSTR-3B due for monthly and quarterly filers?
- Monthly filers file GSTR-3B by the 20th of the following month. QRMP filers file it quarterly by the 22nd of the month after the quarter if they are in Chhattisgarh, MP, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Goa, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh or the southern and western union territories, and by the 24th elsewhere. QRMP filers still pay tax monthly through PMT-06 by the 25th.
- Who can opt for the QRMP scheme?
- Registered persons with aggregate turnover up to ₹5 crore in the previous financial year can opt in to file GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B quarterly while paying tax monthly. The option is chosen on the GST portal for each quarter, usually by the last day of the first month of that quarter. Composition dealers and non-resident taxpayers are not eligible.
- What are the due dates for composition dealers?
- Composition taxpayers pay tax quarterly through form CMP-08 by the 18th of the month after each quarter (18 July, 18 October, 18 January, 18 April) and file one annual return, GSTR-4, by 30 June after the financial year. They do not file GSTR-1 or GSTR-3B and cannot collect GST from customers or claim input credit.
- When is TDS payment due each month?
- TDS deducted in a month must be deposited by the 7th of the next month, except for March, where the due date is 30 April. Quarterly TDS statements (24Q for salary, 26Q for other payments) are due by 31 July, 31 October, 31 January and 31 May. Late deposit attracts interest of 1.5 percent per month.
- What are the advance tax due dates and percentages?
- Anyone whose tax liability after TDS exceeds ₹10,000 in a year pays advance tax in four instalments: at least 15 percent of the year's tax by 15 June, 45 percent by 15 September, 75 percent by 15 December and 100 percent by 15 March. Taxpayers under presumptive schemes (44AD, 44ADA) pay the whole amount by 15 March. Shortfalls attract interest under Sections 234B and 234C.
- How do the email reminders work?
- Once you sign in and enable reminders, VyaparKit emails you 5 days before and 1 day before each due date that applies to your filing type and state, and shows the upcoming dates on your dashboard. Reminders are free. The calendar itself is public and needs no login.
