Do you know the invisible string theory? It is said the universe will keep two people apart until the timing is right. When they finally meet, there will be so many coincidences in the timing, but if one thing would have fallen out of line, they would have never crossed paths.
🚨 HUGE for India's 6.3 crore MSMEs!
ICAI, ICSI, ICMAI & IIT Madras just signed an MoU with MCA to launch the #CorporateMitra Scheme, a dedicated army of trained professionals to help small businesses survive & thrive.
This changes everything. Here's why 👇
🚨 Income Tax Compliance Calendar has changed significantly for AY 2026-27 and beyond.
3 major changes every CA, tax professional and taxpayer must note:
1️⃣ Non-Audit Business/Profession ITR due date shifted from 31 July to 31 August
📌 AY 2026-27 Due Dates:
• ITR-1 & ITR-2 (Non-audit cases) → 31 Jul 2026
• ITR-3 to ITR-7 (Non-audit Business/Profession) → 31 Aug 2026
• Tax Audit Report → 30 Sep 2026
• Audit Cases ITR → 31 Oct 2026
This means July, August, September and October are now all have due dates and interlinked.
Earlier, audit professionals had a clear 2-month audit window (1 Aug–30 Sep) after non-audit return filing. Now, with non-audit B&P returns extending till 31 Aug, the effective audit season shrinks to just one month.
2️⃣ Late Fees for Tax Audit Report from TY 2026-27 onwards-
A gigantic late fees . If Failure to furnish the TAR
🔹 ₹75,000 if delay is up to 1 month
🔹 ₹1.5 lakh thereafter
3️⃣ Late Fees for Revised Return-
Revised return filed after 1 January will attract late fee provisions. This fundamentally changes the strategy around corrections and post-filing revisions.
Four consecutive months. Four connected deadlines. Higher costs for delays. More planning required than ever before.
There is also welcome change in TCS return date.
Here is below 2-pages Summary chart for DUE DATE structure

I value transparency way more than just honesty.
Why? Because Honesty is telling the truth when you're finally asked.
Transparency is sharing the truth before the question is even asked.
Honesty clears the air. Transparency keeps it clean.
@akhilpachori Sir, since electricity is wholly exempt, should we report the SEZ sales in Table 6 instead of Table 8 of Gstr 1? If we put it in Table 6, it treats it as a zero-rated taxable supply, which contradicts the exemption notification.
