Quick Summary
The due date for filing the GSTR 9 annual return for the financial year 2018-19 has been extended to 30th June 2020, as per Notification 15/2020-Central Tax. This extension was granted due to the COVID-19 outbreak and the subsequent lockdown. The discussion also clarifies that purchase returns do not need to be separately reported in GSTR 9 as there is no specific column for them.
CBIC extends time limit for furnishing of the Annual Return (GSTR-9 and GSTR-9C) specified under section 44 of CGST Act, 2017 for the financial year 2018-2019 till 30.06.2020 vide Notification No. 15/2020-Central Tax Dated 23rd March, 2020.
In view of out break of COVID-19 and 21 days lockdown in the country further extention is also expected.
