Quick Summary
This discussion addresses the challenge of entering negative values in GSTR 9, particularly for businesses with high sales returns, leading to negative sales figures. While GSTR-1 might allow these entries, GSTR 9 presents a problem. The advice suggests that if aggregate turnover is below ₹2 crore, filing GSTR 9 might not be mandatory. However, for businesses with multiple registrations and an overall turnover exceeding ₹5 crore, correctly reflecting these negative sales and returns in GSTR 9 is crucial, as figures auto-populate from GSTR-1.

You no need file return at all, as your turnover is lesser than 2crs
But in table 4 of GSTR 9 the figures are autopopulated on the basis of GSTR 1 file for the year ...... so if you have filed your GSTR 1 , by showing sale in sale table & goods return in CNT/DNT table the same is going reflect in GSTR 9 also.

Moreover as per Notification 47/2019 CT , you are not required file GSTR 9 if your aggregate turnover is below 2 crore
But I has multiple registrations and my over all turnover is exceeding 5 crores


and moreover the negative declared in GSTR-1 are deferring from actual values
