FAQ :

GSTR-9 is an annual return that registered taxpayers must file. It provides a consolidated summary of all monthly returns (GSTR-1, 2A, and 3B) filed under CGST, SGST, and IGST throughout the year, including details of turnover and audits.

The due date to submit GSTR-9 and GSTR-9C for the financial year 2020-21 has been extended to 31st December 2021.

GST registered taxpayers with an annual aggregate turnover of up to Rs. 2 crore for FY 2020-21 are exempt from filing Form GSTR-9.

Taxpayers whose annual turnover exceeded Rs. 5 crore in the previous financial year are required to file GSTR-9C on a self-certification basis from FY 2020-21.

The late fee for not filing GSTR-9 is Rs. 100 per day for CGST and Rs. 100 per day for SGST, totalling Rs. 200 per day. This is capped at 0.5% of the taxpayer's turnover in the relevant state or union territory.
