Compliance Reminders — Never Miss a GST/TDS Due Date

Ankeshan's Compliance module builds a personalised statutory calendar inside Excel and reminds you before every deadline — GST, TDS, EPF, ESI, Professional Tax, ROC, Income Tax, and more. It works out exactly which due dates apply to your business from your profile, nudges you 7 days, 3 days, and on the day, and estimates the late fee if something slips — so a missed filing never quietly turns into a penalty.

Ankeshan adds this inside the Excel you already use — nothing new to learn, nothing leaves your PC.

What it does

  • Maintains a complete Indian compliance calendar, built in and updated from the server, covering GST, TDS, EPF, ESI, PT, ROC, Income Tax, and MSME-related deadlines.
  • Auto-flags what applies to you based on your profile — GST registration type, turnover (which drives e-invoicing, QRMP, and audit requirements), employee count, state, and entity type.
  • Sends custom reminders — 7 days before, 3 days before, and day-of, via Excel popup, email, and WhatsApp, configurable per deadline type.
  • Calculates late fee and interest automatically if a deadline is missed.
  • Shows a compliance dashboard — upcoming (next 7/15/30 days), due today, overdue (with days late and penalty), and filed (with challan/ARN reference).
  • Explains each form — what it is, what data you need, a step-by-step filing guide, and a direct portal link.
  • Lets you mark complete with a reference, or snooze with a logged reason.
  • Recreates recurring tasks each period automatically, and lets you add your own custom items — like a trade-licence renewal.
  • Covers the real calendar — TDS deposit on the 7th, GSTR-1 on the 11th, EPF/ESI/PT on the 15th, GSTR-3B on the 20th, quarterly TDS returns, and yearly items like GSTR-9, ITR, tax audit, and ROC filings.

How it works in Excel

You fill in a one-time compliance profile — entity type, GSTINs and states, turnover, employee count, and which registrations you hold (PF, ESI, PT states). From that, Ankeshan generates a Compliance_Tasks list tailored to you: it won't nag you about EPF if you have no employees, or about e-invoicing if you're below the threshold. Each task carries a period, due date, status, and space for the reference once filed.

As deadlines approach, Ankeshan raises reminders — a popup when Excel is open, plus email and WhatsApp — and, for anything overdue, estimates the late fee and interest so you can see the cost of delay. Recurring tasks roll forward each month or quarter automatically. The calendar rules update from the server, so rate and due-date changes reach you without a reinstall.

Who it's for

This module is for owners and accountants who juggle multiple statutory deadlines and can't afford to miss one. It's especially valuable for businesses with GST plus employees plus a company structure — where GST, TDS, EPF/ESI, PT, and ROC dates all stack up — and for anyone operating across states with different PT and LWF frequencies. If you've ever paid a late fee simply because a date slipped your mind, this module is for you.

Good to know

  • Reminders help; you still file. Ankeshan tells you what's due, explains the form, and links you to the portal — the filing itself happens on the government portal.
  • Accuracy depends on your profile. Keep turnover, employee count, and registrations current, and the flagged deadlines stay right.
  • Late-fee figures are estimates. They're there to show the cost of delay; confirm the exact amount on the portal at filing.
  • Offline. Your profile and task list live in your workbook; only the calendar rules are fetched from the server.
