India March deadlines
March 15 is the final advance-tax instalment deadline (the fourth instalment, 100% of estimated liability). March 31 closes the financial year. GST payment for the period under monthly remitter rules is due by the 20th of the following month, so March activity settles in April but year-end accrual work fills March.

India reporting cycles and business-day rules
Indian business-day cycles cluster around GST monthly cutoffs (GSTR-1 by the 11th, GSTR-3B by the 20th) and TDS deposit deadlines (the 7th of the following month for most deductions). The Reserve Bank of India operates RTGS continuously on business days and NEFT in 30-minute batches. Advance-tax instalments under Section 211 fall on June 15 (15%), September 15 (45%), December 15 (75%), and March 15 (100%). Banks close on Republic Day, Independence Day, and Gandhi Jayanti nationally, with state-specific closures excluded from this calculator's central-only set.
