Missed Filing GSTR-9 or GSTR-9C for the Financial Years 2017 to 2023



Quick Summary
The CBIC is offering a waiver of late fees for GSTR-9C filings for financial years 2017-18 to 2022-23, provided they are submitted by March 31, 2025. This applies to those who have received penalty orders or are aware of their filing obligations. GSTR-9 is an annual GST return for registered taxpayers with turnover over ₹2 Crore, while GSTR-9C is a reconciliation statement for those with turnover exceeding ₹5 Crore, requiring CA certification. This waiver specifically covers late fees for GSTR-9C, not GSTR-9, and no refunds will be issued for fees already paid.

Individuals who have received an order from the Department imposing a penalty for the non-filing of GSTR-9 and GSTR-9C, as well as those who are aware of their obligation to file these forms, now have the opportunity to do so for the financial years 2017-18 to 2022-23. As per Notification No. 8/2025
