This discussion addresses a user's concern about GSTR 9 eligibility when the GST portal displays an annual taxable turnover of Rs. 5 crore for FY 19-20, while their actual turnover was below Rs. 2 crore. The user is seeking clarification on whether to file GSTR 9 and why the portal shows a higher figure despite GSTR1 and GSTR3B reflecting the correct, lower turnover. The consensus is to file GSTR 9, but the discrepancy remains a point of confusion, especially as GSTR 9 is optional for turnovers below Rs. 2 crore.
