26 August 2025 After reading article at tax2win, I still have doubt about mandatory application of GST audit. Kindly assist.

26 August 2025 Above ₹5 crore aggregate turnover: Filing of GSTR-9C (self-certified) is mandatory along with the annual return (GSTR-9).

Up to ₹5 crore aggregate turnover: GST audit is not required, and only annual return (GSTR-9) may be applicable depending on the turnover threshold.

Audit by CA/CMA: This is no longer required for any turnover category from FY 2021-22 onwards due to Finance Act, 2021 and GST Council decisions.

26 August 2025 Change effective from FY 2021-22, affirmed by the 43rd GST Council meeting and CBIC Notification No. 29/2021 – Central Tax, dated 30th July 2021.

GSTR-9C (reconciliation statement) is now required to be self-certified, not certified by a CA/CMA.

Section 35(5) Omitted: The provision that required a GST audit by a CA/CMA for businesses with turnover exceeding ₹2 crore was removed altogether.

Section 44 Substituted: Instead of submitting a reconciliation statement that must be certified by a CA/CMA (GSTR-9C), taxpayers now submit a self-certified reconciliation statement along with their annual return.

Effective Date: These changes were made effective through Notification No. 29/2021 – Central Tax dated 30 July 2021, covering FY 2024-25 as well.

26 August 2025 Thank you very much!

26 August 2025 You are welcome.

22 September 2025 Good luck..
