  • Correct Errors Promptly: Fix monthly return errors as soon as identified, don't accumulate
  • Professional Help: Engage a CA early, especially if turnover exceeds ₹5 crores (GSTR-9C required)
  • No Revision Allowed: Since GSTR-9 can't be revised, ensure accuracy before filing
  • Plan for Tax Liability: If additional tax payable is identified, arrange funds in advance

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the cost of GST annual return filing?
GSTR-9 filing starts at ₹10,000 for businesses with turnover up to ₹2 crores. For turnover between ₹2-5 crores, it costs ₹15,000. GSTR-9C (for turnover above ₹5 crores) ranges from ₹25,000 to ₹50,000 depending on complexity, number of invoices, and reconciliation requirements. Final pricing is customized based on your specific situation.
Who needs to file GSTR-9?
All regular GST taxpayers whose aggregate turnover exceeds ₹2 crores in a financial year must file GSTR-9 annual return. Previously, the threshold was ₹5 crores, but it has been reduced. Composition dealers file GSTR-9A, while certain categories like casual taxpayers, non-residents, and ISD are exempted.
What is GSTR-9C and who needs it?
GSTR-9C is a reconciliation statement that must be filed by taxpayers with annual turnover exceeding ₹5 crores. It reconciles the turnover declared in annual returns (GSTR-9) with audited financial statements. It must be certified by a Chartered Accountant or Cost Accountant and filed along with GSTR-9 by 31st December.
What is the due date for GSTR-9 filing?
GSTR-9 and GSTR-9C must be filed by 31st December of the following financial year. For example, for FY 2023-24 (April 2023 to March 2024), the due date is 31st December 2024. Late filing attracts a penalty of ₹200 per day (₹100 CGST + ₹100 SGST), up to a maximum of ₹10,000.
Can I revise GSTR-9 after filing?
No, once GSTR-9 is filed, it cannot be revised or amended. Any error or omission can only be corrected in the next year's GSTR-9. You can declare additional liabilities or reduce excess ITC claimed in subsequent year's annual return. Therefore, it's crucial to file accurately after proper reconciliation.
What documents are needed for annual return filing?
Required documents include: All GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B for the year, Sales and purchase registers, GSTR-2A/2B data, Books of accounts (ledgers, cash book), Audited financial statements (for GSTR-9C), Bank statements, Stock registers, TDS/TCS certificates, Export/import documents, and supporting invoices for reconciliation.
What happens if I miss the GSTR-9 deadline?
Late filing of GSTR-9 attracts a late fee of ₹200 per day (₹100 CGST + ₹100 SGST) with a maximum cap of ₹10,000. Additionally, if there's additional tax liability identified, interest will be charged. Repeated non-compliance can affect your GST compliance rating and may attract notices from the department.
What is HSN summary in GSTR-9?
Table 12 of GSTR-9 requires HSN-wise summary of outward supplies. You need to report HSN code, description, UQC, total quantity, total taxable value, and tax rate. The level of HSN digits required depends on turnover: up to ₹5 crores - 4 digits, above ₹5 crores - 6 digits.
How long does GSTR-9 filing take?
For well-maintained records, GSTR-9 filing takes 3-7 days including reconciliation. GSTR-9C with complete reconciliation takes 7-15 days depending on business complexity. For businesses with poor record-keeping or significant mismatches, it can take 2-3 weeks. We recommend engaging us by October for December deadline.
What if there's additional tax liability in GSTR-9?
If reconciliation reveals additional tax liability, it must be paid before filing GSTR-9. The tax can be paid through the GST portal using available credit or cash. Interest is applicable from the original due date. Our reconciliation process helps identify such liabilities in advance so you can plan accordingly.
