Which of these are actually yours?

Six questions, asked once. Answer them and this page stops showing you other businesses’ deadlines.

QRMP means you file returns quarterly but pay tax monthly. On the composition scheme? Leave this as "I'm not sure" and answer the composition question instead. If you are not sure which you are on, leave it — nothing will be hidden.

Composition taxpayers file CMP-08 every quarter and GSTR-4 once a year, instead of the monthly GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B. Answering yes shows those two and hides the monthly pair; if you are not sure, leave it — nothing will be hidden.

This decides whether the 15th-of-the-month PF and ESI deadline is yours.

Rent, contractors, professional fees, commission. This decides the monthly deposit and the four quarterly returns.

Private limited, LLP or public company — as opposed to a proprietorship or partnership firm. This decides the AOC-4 and MGT-7 ROC filings.

Your CA will know (44AB is the 1961-Act number; the Income-tax Act, 2025 renumbers it, the audit is the same). It decides whether your income tax return is due on 31 August (31 July if you have no business income) or 31 October — two months apart, so both dates stay visible until you tell us.

GSTR-7 and GSTR-8. This is uncommon — mostly government bodies and e-commerce operators.

These are your answers, not our assessment. Anything you leave as “I’m not sure” keeps showing, so nothing disappears because you skipped a question. Change them any time — your CA is the right person to ask about the audit one.
