For the financial year 2020-21, taxpayers with an annual turnover of up to ₹2 Crore are not required to file the GSTR 9 annual return. This means if your turnover was ₹1.87 Crore for FY 20-21, filing GSTR 9 is optional for you. The requirement to file GSTR 9 is only mandatory for those exceeding this turnover threshold.
