Ensuring 100% compliances on all regulatory fronts is an important achievement and a task in itself for CFOs and Compliance Officers. This is especially more challenging in small/medium businesses since resources are limited and with employee churn it is highly probable to have slippages & delays on important compliances, in the absence of a reminder/alert mechanism. To beat this problem, we have designed a Compliance Calendar which can be imported in your Outlook Calendar so that you do not miss out on those important compliance dates. Please note that this calendar is for various statutory compliances in India (Excise, Sales/VAT, Service Tax, TDS, Advance Tax, ROC Annual Return, Transfer Pricing, Profession Tax, Provident Fund and ESIC). This calendar is in its testing phase and hence your feedback/suggestions are welcome.

A Bank Payment Voucher is required to be filled in and signed off, while making any bank payment (whether as a wire remittance or cheque payment). Necessary supporting documents are attached to the Bank Payment Voucher to provide necessary back-up documentation.

Last year was tough for most businesses and employees also supported their companies without expecting any salary increase. However, this year the business mood has improved. Companies have started seeing some churn in employees due to compensation reasons. Many companies are closely evaluating compensation packages for their employees and are trying to work out the best approach to retain talent, but are adequately cautious to not go overboard in increasing costs substantially. To address this uncertainty and lend some visibility, we conducted a short 60 seconds survey; which received an overwhelming response from 36 countries across all kinds of companies (micro, small, medium, large and very large).
