COMPLIANCE GUARDIAN — Q&A
Q: What deadlines does the Compliance Guardian monitor? India deadlines:
- GSTR-1 filing: 11th of each month
- GSTR-3B filing: 20th of each month
- TDS deposit: 7th of each month
- TDS return (Form 26Q): quarterly (31 Jul, 31 Oct, 31 Jan, 31 May)
- IRN cancellation window: 24 hours from IRN generation
- UK VAT return: quarterly, 1 month + 7 days after quarter end
- US sales tax: varies by state
Q: What is the IRN cancellation window alert? E-invoices (IRN) can only be cancelled within 24 hours of generation. After 24 hours, the IRN is permanent — it cannot be cancelled, only credit-noted. The Compliance Guardian monitors all IRNs generated in the last 23 hours. If any need cancellation, it sends an urgent alert before the window closes.
Q: What is the India Government Portal Monitoring capability? Level 2 enhancement (roadmap). The Compliance Guardian will monitor:
- GSTIN status: weekly check on every active customer’s GSTIN. If suspended → alert before next invoice is generated
- MCA portal: company status, director changes, struck-off flag → churn risk signal
- MSME Samadhaan: delayed payment complaints filed by the customer → payment risk signal
