Is it compulsory to fill purchase details in form 4 for F.y. 2019-20
@ vipin Malviya ji

It's not mandatory as per the notification issued earlier at time of Quarterly filing of GSTR 4.

but now, GSTR 4 made annually and for annual return there is no separate clarification/exemption till date.

So it's advisable to disclose the Purchase details in your FORM GSTR-4 for F.Y 2019-20.
Thank you so much sagar sir ji. Sir but offline utility is not available in GSTR 4 annual return. In online utility it takes lot of time to enter purchase details.
Yes Vipin ji, that's genuine hardship faced by all the composition Taxpayer now'day's.
But there is no option.
As last date is 31st August, 2020...we can wait for some more days for offline utility to come or any clarification/exemption from department regarding same.

Update : 06th August, 2020
