Key dates for Indian fund holders, December 2026 to 2028
A timeline of the main dates for Indian fund holders in India, the USA, Canada, the UK and Europe, with a table of the rest. Only dates we could check on official pages are shown.
Prepared by Prem Tax and Accounting Corp. Last checked against official sources on November 5, 2026.
An Indian fund holder's dates sit in several calendars at once. Our Wall-Calendar Date Ladder lines them up from now into early 2028, covering tax year 2026 in the USA and Canada, UK years 2025-26 and 2026-27, and India's FY 2026-27. Our own part is the U.S. return; your adviser in India, Canada or Europe files the rest. See the year-end checklist and our Indian CPA page.

Our checklist
The Wall-Calendar Date Ladder:
- Enter each date for the place where each family member lives or files.
- Add a reminder a month ahead, and mark dates that fall on a weekend.
- Note whether each date is a filing date or a payment date.
- Re-check this page when a budget, circular or new form appears.
Common questions
Do weekend dates move?
Both January 31, 2027 (a Sunday) and July 31, 2027 (a Saturday) fall on a weekend. Germany pushes a Saturday date to the next working day. For the UK and India we found no equivalent rule.
Why is there no Treasury rate date?
Treasury releases its exchange rates quarterly and names no week, so we say only that the December 31, 2026 rate comes once posted.
Which dates are missing?
The French closing date, the Dutch 2026 date and Zurich's 2026 date. The Dutch 2025 deadline was usually May 1, 2026; Zurich's was March 31, 2026.
