Quick Summary
For Financial Years 2017-18 and 2018-19, the GSTR9 annual return is optional for taxpayers whose aggregate turnover is less than 2 Crores. This change was introduced via Notification No. 47/2019 and Circular No. 124/43/2019. Filing remains mandatory only for those businesses with an aggregate turnover exceeding 2 Crores for those periods.

Not mandatory For F.Y 2017-18 and F.Y 2018-19 if turnover less than 2 Crores.
As per Notification No. 47/2019 - Central Tax, dated 09th October 2019 read with Circular No. 124/43/2019 - GST, dated 18th November 2019, Filing of GST Annual Return (FORM GSTR-9 ) for FY 2017-18 & FY 2018-19 has been made "OPTIONAL" for the Taxpayers having Aggregate Turnover upto Rs. 2 crores.
