Statutory Dues Reconciliation Format — Payable vs Paid

The statutory dues reconciliation compares the liability accrued against amounts actually deposited to surface any shortfall.

STATUTORY DUES RECONCILIATION — PAYABLE vs PAID

Reconciliation of statutory liabilities recorded in the books against challans/returns filed, supporting the CARO disclosure of undisputed statutory dues under the Companies Act. Period: [FY / month].

Statutory headOpening payable (Rs.)Accrued / payable (Rs.)Paid / deposited (Rs.)Closing outstanding (Rs.)Due date
GST (CGST+SGST+IGST)[52,000][1,19,000][1,19,000][52,000][20th of next month]
TDS (194C/194J/192 etc.)[18,000][45,000][45,000][18,000][7th of next month]

[________________][__________][__________][__________][__________][__________]
Total[70,000][2,02,500][2,02,500][70,000]—

Formula: Closing outstanding = Opening payable + Accrued during period − Paid during period. Closing outstanding should equal the balances in the respective duties & taxes ledgers.

Compliance note: Amounts shown as closing outstanding usually represent the last month’s liability payable in the following period. Any dues outstanding beyond their due date are reportable as arrears under CARO 2020 and attract interest/penalty under the respective Acts (GST S.50, IT S.201, EPF/ESI damages, State PT).
