Track filing deadlines with the compliance calendar

Use the Aczen Bilz compliance calendar to track GST filing deadlines, TDS due dates, ROC filings, and advance tax dates — with export and reminder options.

Missing a compliance deadline can mean penalties, interest, and unnecessary stress. The Aczen Bilz compliance calendar gives you a single view of every statutory due date relevant to your business — GST returns, TDS deposits, ROC annual filings, and advance tax installments — so nothing slips through the cracks.

What the calendar shows

When you open Compliance → Compliance Calendar, you see a monthly grid with every compliance deadline marked on the date it falls. Click any date to see the filings due that day, their category, and their current status.

The dashboard above the calendar shows four live metrics:

• Total circulars — the total number of compliance rules being tracked
• Compliance rate — the percentage of this month’s deadlines you have marked as filed
• Pending actions — deadlines in the current month that are not yet marked as filed
• Risk score — a heuristic that rises when you have overdue items and falls as your compliance rate improves

Color coding

Each deadline on the calendar is marked with a colored dot so you can assess your position at a glance:

Color	Meaning
Red	Overdue — the deadline has passed and the item is not marked as filed
Yellow	Pending — the deadline is coming up and the item is not yet filed
Green	Filed — you have marked this item as complete

Common deadline types

Marking a filing as complete

1. Find the deadline

   Click on the date in the calendar grid that has the filing due. A popover shows all filings for that date.

2. Mark as filed

   Click Mark as Filed next to the relevant item. The dot on the calendar changes from yellow (or red) to green, and the filing is removed from your pending actions count.

3. Undo if needed

   If you marked something as filed by mistake, click the date again and select Mark as Unfiled. The status reverts immediately.

Filtering the deadline list

The panel to the right of the calendar lets you filter upcoming deadlines:

• Issued — shows all circulars and deadlines for the month
• Due — shows only items not yet marked as filed
• Due in 7 days / 30 days / All — narrows the list to what is most urgent

Use the Due in 7 days filter during the last week of the month to create a quick action list.

Setting up reminders

Aczen Bilz sends compliance reminders by email at 30 days, 15 days, and 7 days before each due date. Reminders are enabled by default for all tracked deadlines.

To change which email address receives reminders, go to Settings → Notifications and update your compliance notification email.

Exporting the calendar

You can export your compliance deadlines for use outside Aczen Bilz:

1. Choose your format

   Use the buttons in the top-right of the calendar page:

   • CSV — downloads a spreadsheet of the next 7 days’ deadlines with title, category, and date columns
   • PDF — downloads a formatted compliance report you can share with your CA or team
2. Open in your calendar app

   To add deadlines to Google Calendar or Outlook, open the downloaded CSV and import it using your calendar app’s import function. Most calendar apps accept CSV files with date columns.

   Aczen Bilz does not currently support direct .ics (iCalendar) export. Import the CSV into Google Sheets or Excel first if your calendar app requires .ics format, then use a conversion tool to create the .ics file.

MCA and ROC filings

The calendar includes MCA/ROC deadlines relevant to your entity type. Use the MCA Filing section (accessible via the MCA Page button) to track progress on specific ROC forms, upload required documents, and manage annual and event-based filings.

The filings to track depend on your entity type:

Entity type	Key annual filings
Private Limited / Section 8	AOC-4, MGT-7, DIR-3 KYC, DPT-3
OPC / Small Company	AOC-4, MGT-7A, DIR-3 KYC
LLP	LLP Form 11, LLP Form 8, Partner KYC

ROC penalties for late filing can be significant and compound daily. Ensure annual filings are submitted well before their due dates, especially AOC-4 and MGT-7, which are due within 30–60 days of your AGM.
