Yes so far it is applicable for FY 2018-19.

Proviso to Rule 80(3) of the CGST Rules 2017, clearly states that "FOR FY 2018-19" FORM GSTR-9C will be mandatory only for those taxpayers whose Aggregate Turnover exceeds Rs. 5 crores.

Note : This Proviso was inserted to Rule 80(3) of the CGST Rules 2017 vide Notification No. 16/2020 - Central Tax, dated 23rd March 2020.

Don't exactly understand what you are trying to ask but the 5 crore limit will also be applicable for assessment year 2020-21. I hope this helps.
