15 February 2020 Sir,

One of my friend is running a Proprietory concern and his annual turnover for the year 2017 -18
( Jul 17 to Mar 18 ) was less than Rs. 1 crore. As such, he says, he has not filed the GSTR 9 -
annual return, since it is optional to file annual return, if the annual turnover is less than Rs. 1.50
crores for the FY 2017 - 18. Is there any such option? Kindly let me know the section under which
such option has been granted.
If not, what is the corrective measure for him ?

Pls. advice.
