Frequently Asked Questions
Who must file GSTR-9?
GSTR-9 is mandatory for regular taxpayers with aggregate annual turnover above ₹2 crore. Below ₹2 crore it is optional. Composition dealers file GSTR-9A instead.
What is GSTR-9C and who files it?
GSTR-9C is a reconciliation statement between the annual return and the audited financial statements. It is required for taxpayers with aggregate turnover above ₹5 crore in the financial year.
What is the due date for GSTR-9?
The annual return for a financial year is generally due by 31 December of the following financial year, unless the government extends the date.
What is the late fee for GSTR-9?
A late fee of ₹200 per day (₹100 CGST plus ₹100 SGST) applies, subject to a cap linked to your turnover in the state. Filing on time avoids this entirely.
Can GSTR-9 be revised after filing?
No. GSTR-9 cannot be revised once filed, which is why thorough reconciliation before filing is essential. We review every figure with you before submission.
What if my monthly returns had errors during the year?
Differences between your books and the returns are reported and, where possible, settled through the annual return. We identify these during reconciliation and advise on any tax payable via DRC-03.
