Income Tax Deadlines Every Chennai Business Should Know

26 February 2026 6 min read

Income tax compliance is more than just filing one return a year. Chennai businesses must track multiple deadlines to avoid penalties.

Advance tax: 15 June (15%), 15 September (45%), 15 December (75%), 15 March (100%). Missing these attracts interest under sections 234B and 234C.

TDS returns: 31 July, 31 October, 31 January, 31 May. Late filing attracts ₹200/day under section 234E (capped at TDS amount).

ITR (non-audit): 31 July of the assessment year. For audit cases: 31 October. Belated returns: until 31 December with late fee up to ₹10,000.

Tax audit (Form 3CD): 30 September. Transfer pricing audit (Form 3CEB): 31 October.

We send each client a calendar with all applicable due dates at the start of the financial year — no missed deadlines, no penalties.
