Compliance — TDS, statutory dues & the calendar
See every statutory due date in one place — GST, TDS, PF, ESI and PT — so penalties stop being a monthly surprise, with a full audit trail behind every entry.
Read this first
- ▸ One calendar shows GST, TDS and payroll dues with clear status (done/due/upcoming).
- ▸ TDS is deducted at the right rate and tracked for deposit and reporting.
- ▸ Every entry has an audit trail — answer a query in minutes, not days.
Being straight with you
- • MGH Books helps you avoid the common cause of penalties — missed or late filings. The actual deposit/filing still happens on the government portal.
Step by step
- 1

ComplianceSee upcoming GST, TDS, PF, ESI and PT dates together.

Keep the trail
Every document and change is recorded, so an audit or notice is easy to answer.
Penalties come from missed dates, not bad intent
Almost every compliance penalty is for missing a date, not for doing something wrong. So the whole game is simple: put every recurring obligation in one place, with a reminder, tied to your real data.
The dates to know
These are the recurring deadlines for most small businesses (your exact dates depend on your scheme and state).
| Obligation | Typical due | Applies to |
|---|---|---|
| GSTR-1 | ~11th (or 13th, QRMP) | GST-registered |
| GSTR-3B + payment | ~20th (or 22nd/24th, QRMP) | GST-registered |
| TDS payment | ~7th of next month | If you deduct TDS |
| PF & ESI | Monthly, by deadline | Employers |
| Professional Tax | Varies by state | Employers |
One calendar beats five reminders
Phone alarms don't know whether you've actually filed. The compliance calendar shows what's due, what's done and what's coming — built from your own transactions — so you act in time and nothing falls between tools.
TDS & TCS, handled
TDS is tax you deduct when making certain payments; TCS is tax you collect on certain sales. Both are applied at the right rate and tracked for deposit and reporting (from the Samridhi plan), so they stop being a last-minute panic.
Keep the trail
Every entry carries an audit trail. So if a query or notice arrives, you answer it in minutes with the exact document and its history — compliance you can defend, not just complete.
Troubleshooting
A deadline I expect isn't shown
Fix: It appears once the related module (e.g. payroll) is in use — run that module and the date populates.
TDS isn't being deducted
Fix: TDS handling is on the Samridhi plan and above; check your plan and that the payment type attracts TDS.
I filed but it still shows due
Fix: Mark the item done after filing on the portal; MGH Books tracks status, it doesn't file for you.
