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.
