FAQs on July 2026 Compliance Calendar

2. If I have shifted from monthly GST filing to QRMP, which July 2026 due dates apply to us?

If you are under the QRMP scheme, you need to follow the quarterly filing schedule, including GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B due dates applicable to your state category.

3. If my company deducted TDS but forgot to deposit it in June, can we still file quarterly TDS returns in July?

Yes, but the delayed deposit may attract interest. It is advisable to clear the pending TDS payment before filing the quarterly return.

4. If there are no employees on payroll for June 2026, is PF and ESI filing still required?

The requirement depends on the facts of the case and the status of the establishment. Employers should review the applicable EPF and ESI provisions before skipping compliance.

5. What is the difference between deducting TDS and depositing TDS?

Deducting TDS means withholding tax from a payment made to the deductee, whereas depositing TDS means remitting the deducted amount to the government. Both are separate compliance requirements, and failure to comply with either may attract interest and penalties under the Income-tax Act, 2025.

6. Why is it important to verify PAN before deducting TDS?

Deductors should verify the deductee’s PAN before making payments because an invalid or inoperative PAN may result in TDS being deducted at a higher rate as prescribed under the Income-tax Act, 2025. Incorrect PAN reporting can also lead to TDS return defaults and mismatches in tax credit.

7. Why should taxpayers reconcile Form 26AS and the Annual Information Statement (AIS) before filing their income tax return?

Taxpayers should reconcile the details available in Form 26AS and the AIS with their books of accounts and income records to ensure that all TDS credits, specified financial transactions, and reported income are accurate. This helps avoid incorrect tax claims, notices, and delays in processing the income tax return.

8. Why does the July compliance calendar include filings related to FY 2025-26?

Several statutory filings are submitted after the financial year ends. Therefore, due dates falling in July 2026 may still relate to transactions or reporting periods of FY 2025-26.

9. How does Ebizfiling help businesses manage multiple July compliance deadlines?

Ebizfiling assists in tracking due dates, preparing returns, filing statutory forms, and ensuring that GST, tax, payroll, and other compliances are completed on time.

10. Can Ebizfiling help identify which July 2026 compliances are applicable to my business?

Yes. Based on your business structure, registrations, turnover, employee count, and tax obligations, Ebizfiling can help determine the compliances relevant to your entity.
