Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies that filing the GST annual return (GSTR-9A) is not mandatory for composition taxpayers for FY 2017-18 and FY 2018-19, as it was made optional by a circular in November 2019. For FY 2019-20, no relaxations have been announced yet, and taxpayers are still awaiting official notification regarding GSTR-9 and GSTR-9A.
No Sir it is not mandatory. For FY 2017-18 and FY 2018-19, filing of FORM GSTR-9A was made OPTIONAL. The same was clarified vide Circular No. 124/43/2019 - GST, dated 18th November 2019.
