  1. Good reference for July 2026. Three dates worth flagging specifically for small business owners who often miss them:

    July 11, 2026 (GSTR-1 for June): Monthly non-QRMP filers must submit GSTR-1 by July 11. This is NOT the same as GSTR-3B. If GSTR-1 is delayed, your buyers cannot see the invoices in their GSTR-2B for the period, which creates friction with their ITC claims.
    July 20, 2026 (GSTR-3B for June): This is the payment and summary return deadline. Interest accrues from the 20th at 18% per annum on unpaid liability , there is no grace period without interest.
    July 31, 2026 (Q1 FY 2026-27 TDS return): This is the first quarter where the new Form 138 (salary TDS, replacing Form 24Q) and Form 140 (non-salary domestic TDS, replacing Form 26Q) are mandatory under the Income Tax Act 2025. If you are using old TDS filing software, ensure it has been updated to generate these new form formats before filing.
    For businesses juggling all three simultaneously, a quick internal calendar reminder 10 days before each date (July 1, July 10, July 21) reduces scrambling.
