November brings crucial financial and compliance deadlines in India that require immediate action to avoid penalties or income disruption.

1. Pensioner Life Certificate (Jeevan Pramaan)

All central, state, and EPF pensioners must submit their annual Life Certificate between November 1 and November 30. Missing this deadline will stall monthly pension disburser payments from December onwards. Submissions can be done digitally via face authentication apps, doorstep postal services, or bank branches.

2. Extended ITR Filing Deadline

For taxpayers whose accounts require auditing, the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) extended the Income Tax Return filing cutoff to November 21. Ensure timely submission with your Chartered Accountant to avoid Section 234A interest penalties.

3. Hallmark Verification

With festive and wedding shopping in full swing, buyers should verify the mandatory 6-digit HUID hallmark code via the official BIS Care app before purchasing gold jewellery to protect against fraud.
