The compliance calendar is built into the platform — not a bolt-on checklist.
Pre-populated for your states
Calendar auto-fills all statutory deadlines for every state where your company is registered — no manual entry required.
Alerts at 7 days, 3 days, day-of
Email and in-app notifications sent to your compliance officer before each deadline. Nothing slips through.
Auto-mark challan filed on payroll run
When you complete a payroll run, EPF, ESIC, and PT challans are automatically marked filed in the calendar.
Multi-state unified view
See every deadline — Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Delhi and beyond — on a single calendar screen.
Penalty calculator
Each deadline shows the cost of missing it: interest rates, per-day penalties, and prosecution risk — so you can prioritise.
Labour Codes ready
Calendar updates automatically when your company switches to the Labour Codes regime — new frequencies, new forms, no reconfiguration.
