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.
