The legal compliance landscape in India for March 2025 encompasses 375 key obligations under Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) 1999, Income Tax Act 1961, and Goods and Services Tax (GST) Act 2017. FEMA mandates monthly submissions such as ECB-2 returns and reports on remittances under LRS, alongside one-time filings like FC-GPR for FDIs. The Income Tax Act requires regular submissions, including TDS, TCS, and Equalization Levy deposits by March 7, issuing TDS certificates by March 14, and advance tax payments by March 15. Annual obligations include filing updated income tax returns for past years, reporting foreign income under Foreign Tax Credit, and settling outstanding payments to Micro and Small Enterprises by March 31. Under GST, critical deadlines include monthly GSTR filings for various categories such as deductors, e-commerce operators, and non-resident dealers, along with GSTR-3B submissions for taxpayers with turnovers exceeding ₹5 crore. Other notable updates include the mandatory implementation of multi-factor authentication for certain dealers and adjustments to the QRMP scheme for invoice uploads. These requirements emphasize the need for meticulous planning and adherence to compliance deadlines to avoid penalties and ensure smooth operations.
