Month-end close checklist for Indian finance teams

A tick-box checklist for closing the books each month, with the GST, TDS and payroll compliance dates, and three Claude prompts for the review steps.

What is inside

  • Six blocks: cut-off and sub-ledgers, reconciliations, accruals and adjustments, GST, TDS and payroll compliance, review and close.
  • An owner column and notes on every line, ready to copy into Excel or print.
  • Statutory dates and section references checked against the primary sources on 3 November 2026.
  • Three Claude prompts: GL scrutiny, flux analysis (trial balance plus detailed general ledger activity) and tie-outs.

Who it is for

Finance controllers, accountants and CAs who run the monthly close. Claude does the first pass; you decide and sign off. It is a working method, not legal advice.
