SEBI RA Compliance Calendar

Every recurring SEBI obligation for a Research Analyst in one place, with the dated deadlines you can drop straight into your calendar. Pick your financial year, download the .ics, and stop carrying the dates in your head.

Dates assume a 31 March year-end, which nearly every individual Research Analyst uses.

Add it and the calendar download includes a renewal reminder 90, 30 and 7 days before.

31 August 2027

Recommended

Brief your compliance auditor

Recommended buffer. Engage your CA, CS or Cost Accountant so there is time to fix anything before the report is finalised.

30 September 2027

SEBI deadline

Complete the Regulation 25(3) annual compliance audit

The annual compliance audit must be completed within six months of financial year-end, which is 30 September for a 31 March year-end.

31 October 2027

SEBI deadline

Works with Google Calendar, Outlook and Apple Calendar. No signup, no email.

The obligations that run all year

ContinuousRegulation 25 record-keeping: signed, dated research reports retained 5 years; conflict and AI disclosures in every report.
At onboardingKYC, signed client agreement, MITC acknowledgement, risk profiling where applicable.
Per complaintSCORES resolution within 21 days; log every complaint in the register.
MonthlyRefresh the complaints disclosure on your website; reconcile the complaint register.
AnnuallyFile the annual return; review fees against the โ‚น1,51,000 per family cap; refresh website disclosures and the investor charter.
Every 3 yearsRenew the NISM Series XV certification before expiry, via the renewal exam or CPE.
As clients changeKeep the deposit aligned to your client-count slab, marked as lien in favour of RAASB.

The annual return is a separate filing from the compliance audit; you have to do both. This is a descriptive guide, not legal or compliance advice. Verify the current deadlines against SEBI circulars and RAASB notices.

Anchor everything to 31 October

Most compliance trouble is a missed date, not a deliberate breach. The hard anchor is 31 October, the deadline for the annual compliance audit report to reach RAASB for the preceding financial year. Work backwards from it: complete the Regulation 25(3) audit by 30 September, and brief your auditor by August so there is time to fix anything first. The full walkthrough is in the annual compliance audit guide and the compliance calendar explainer.

The October audit should be a download, not a reconstruction

The dated deadlines are easy to diarise. The continuous obligation, five years of signed, dated, AI-disclosed records, is where practices slip, because it depends on doing the right thing every time you send a note. Aktai does this part automatically: every note is drafted facts-only, stamped with its AI-disclosure, and sealed into a tamper-evident Regulation 25 hash chain on send. When 31 October comes, the full-year audit pack is one click, not a scramble through WhatsApp screenshots.

FAQ

What deadlines are in the SEBI Research Analyst compliance calendar?

The dated annual deadlines are the Regulation 25(3) compliance audit, due within six months of financial year-end (30 September for a 31 March year-end), and the audit report to RAASB, due no later than 31 October. The annual return, monthly complaints-disclosure refresh, NISM Series XV renewal, and continuous Regulation 25 record-keeping also apply.

Can I add the SEBI RA deadlines to Google or Outlook Calendar?

Yes. The tool generates a standard .ics file you can import into Google Calendar, Outlook or Apple Calendar in one click. Each deadline comes with reminders set ahead of the date, and there is no signup or email required.

When does my NISM Series XV certification need renewing?

The NISM Series XV Research Analyst certification is valid for three years. Renew it before it expires through the Series XV-B renewal exam or the CPE program. A lapsed certificate cannot be renewed. Enter your expiry date in the tool to add a renewal reminder to the download.

Is this calendar official?

No. It is a free reference tool from Aktai, not from SEBI or RAASB, and not legal or compliance advice. Verify the current deadlines against SEBI circulars and RAASB notices.
