Quick Summary
For Financial Years 2017-18 and 2018-19, filing the GSTR9 annual return is optional for taxpayers with an aggregate turnover up to Rs. 2 crores, as per Notification No. 47/2019. However, for FY 2019-20, there is no such exemption, and the GSTR9 filing remains compulsory for all taxpayers. The due date for FY 2019-20 is currently set as 31st December 2020.

As per Notification No. 47/2019 - Central Tax, dated 09th October 2019, Filing of Annual Return i.e. FORM GSTR-9 under Section 44(1) of the CGST Act 2017 for "FY 2017-18 and FY 2018-19" has been made "OPTIONAL" for the taxpayers having Aggregate Turnover upto Rs. 2 crores.

For F.Y 2019-20, there is no such Exemption to any taxpayer.
As per Notification No. 47/2019 - Central Tax, dated 09th October 2019 read with Circular No. 124/43/2019 - GST, dated 18th November 2019, Annual Return ( FORM GSTR-9 ) under Section 44(1) of the CGST Act 2017 for "FY 2017-18 and FY 2018-19" has been made "OPTIONAL" for the taxpayers having Aggregate Turnover upto Rs. 2 crores.

If not filed by the taxable person on or before the due date, then it shall be "deemed to be filed" on the due date.

As far as FY 2019-20 is concerned, no notification, press release or circular issued regarding due date extension etc. So as of now the due date will be 31st December 2020 for FY 19-20 as per GST Law [ Section 44(1) of the CGST Act 2017 ].
