- System Dependency: GSTR‑9 is enabled only after the portal confirms that every monthly/quarterly GSTR‑1 and GSTR‑3B for the year is filed. If even one return shows “pending” or “not filed” in the backend, the annual return remains locked. - Acknowledgment Delay: Sometimes, even after filing, the GST portal takes time to update the filing status. This can cause the error message. - Nil Returns: If Nil returns were required for certain months but not filed, the system will block GSTR‑9. - Portal Sync Issue: - Wait 24–48 hours. Sometimes the system takes time to update filing status. - Clear cache or try logging in via another browser.
- If all returns are filed but GSTR‑9 is still disabled, raise a ticket: - Go to Help → Grievance Redressal Portal. - Attach screenshots of filed returns and ARN acknowledgments.
