Consolidated annual statement aggregating outward supplies, inward supplies, input tax credit availed, output tax paid, demands, refunds and HSN summary for the financial year across nineteen tables
Annual return prescribed for taxpayers who have opted for the composition route under Section 10 of the CGST Act; presently kept in abeyance for financial years from 2019-20 onwards as composition taxpayers furnish the quarterly statement in CMP-08 and annual GSTR-4 instead

Summary periodic return capturing output tax payable, input tax credit availed and net tax discharged through cash and credit ledgers; twelve monthly filings consolidate into Tables 6 and 9 of the annual return
Dynamically auto-populated statement of inward supplies reflecting invoices uploaded by suppliers in their GSTR-1, GSTR-5 and GSTR-6 filings; used for supplier-side compliance follow-up during the annual reconciliation
Static auto-drafted statement generated on a monthly cut-off basis; basis for input tax credit availment under clause (aa) of Section 16(2) and Rule 36(4); Table 8A of GSTR-9 reflects the GSTR-2B aggregation
Every claim on this page can be traced back to a section or rule below.
Sub-section (1) of Section 44 directs every registered person to furnish, for each financial year, an annual return electronically in the form and manner prescribed under the CGST framework. The provision carves out specific exclusions — an Input Service Distributor, a deductor under Section 51, a collector under Section 52, a casual taxable person and a non-resident taxable person. It is to be noted that the substantive obligation rests at the parent section, while the form, manner and timing of furnishing stand delegated to the rule-making power exercised through Rule 80.
View sourceSub-rule (1) of Rule 80 prescribes Form GSTR-9 as the annual return for every registered person, save those falling within the statutory exclusions enumerated at Section 44. The return is required to be furnished by the thirty-first of December immediately succeeding the close of the financial year to which it relates. Special-category persons such as those registered under the composition route at Section 10 are addressed by the first proviso, which prescribes the alternate return in Form GSTR-9A. The prescription is procedural in nature and operates without prejudice to the substantive duty cast by the parent section.
View sourceSub-rule (3) of Rule 80 prescribes Form GSTR-9C as a self-certified reconciliation statement, applicable wherever aggregate turnover for the financial year crosses the five-crore-rupee mark. The statement bridges the values declared at the annual-return level with figures appearing in audited annual financial statements maintained at the entity level. The certification responsibility rests with the registered person themselves, consequent to amendments effected by the Finance Act, 2021 operative from the first of August, 2021. The earlier dispensation requiring attestation by a chartered or cost accountant stands withdrawn through the same amending instrument.
View sourceSub-section (9) of Section 39 permits a registered person to rectify omissions or incorrect particulars in a periodic return, subject to discovery on the registered person's own motion and not consequent to scrutiny, audit or any other proceeding. The outer limit for rectification is the thirtieth day of November following the end of the financial year, or the date of furnishing the annual return for that financial year, whichever is earlier. The provision does not extend to the annual return itself; once GSTR-9 is filed, the corrective routes shift to Form DRC-03 and the subsequent year's previous-period disclosures.
View sourceSub-section (10) of Section 73 fixes the outer limit for an adjudication order in matters free from fraud, wilful misstatement or suppression — being three years reckoned from the prescribed date by which the relevant annual return for the relevant financial year was to be furnished. The notice at sub-section (2) must precede that order by a clear three months. It is to be noted that the prescribed annual-return date thereby operates as the limitation anchor — a properly reconciled and timely-filed GSTR-9 commences the running of the limitation clock and confers finality on a clean financial year.
View sourceSub-section (5) of Section 35, which earlier required every registered person above a prescribed turnover threshold to get accounts audited by a chartered accountant or cost accountant, stands omitted with effect from the first day of August, 2021 by the Finance Act, 2021. The omission paved the way for the present self-certification regime under Rule 80(3). For financial years up to and including 2019-20, the older audit-based regime continues to govern, and a properly executed Form GSTR-9C bearing certification remains relevant to historical assessments under Section 73 and Section 74.

GSTR-9 and self-certified GSTR-9C for Indira Nagar businesses are prepared by reconciling 12 months of GSTR-1, GSTR-3B and audited financials with full Table 8 ITC tie-out before the 31st December deadline.
A dedicated GSTR-9 consultant in Indira Nagar handles Tables 4 to 19, Table 8 GSTR-2A vs GSTR-3B reconciliation, HSN summary preparation and DRC-03 voluntary payment for any short-paid tax.
For Indira Nagar businesses above ₹5 crore aggregate turnover, GSTR-9C Part A turnover reconciliation, Part B tax-paid reconciliation and Part C ITC reconciliation are delivered with full working papers ready for self-certification.
Filing GSTR-9 before 31st December prevents the Section 47(2) late fee of ₹200/day capped at 0.50% of state turnover and the consolidated GSTR-9C late fee for Indira Nagar businesses above ₹5 crore.
A mismatch with books triggers GSTR-9C reconciliation entries with auditor reasons. Material mismatches expose the registered person to Section 73 or Section 74 proceedings, with adjudication based on the reconciliation note.
Yes. Nil filers above ₹2 crore turnover must still file GSTR-9, which will be a nil-tax annual return. Below ₹2 crore turnover, even nil filing is optional under Notification 47/2019-Central Tax.
Yes. GSTR-9 is the foundational document for any Section 73 or Section 74 proceeding for the financial year. Reconciliation gaps and mismatches reflected therein are routinely the trigger for DRC-01A intimations.
Yes. Schedule I supplies between related persons and distinct persons must be reflected in Table 4 of GSTR-9. The valuation follows Rule 28 and the open-market-value principle, with cross-charge being the typical instance.
Table 6F of GSTR-9 captures TCS credits received from e-commerce operators. The figure must reconcile with the operator's GSTR-8 filings, which is the typical scrutiny query for e-commerce sellers above threshold.
An ISD registration files GSTR-6 monthly and is not required to file GSTR-9. The recipient units receiving distributed ITC file their own GSTR-9 with the ITC reflected in Table 6 thereof.

The annual return under GST is governed by Section 44 of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act 2017 read with Rule 80 of the CGST Rules. Section 44(1) requires every registered person, other than an Input Service Distributor, a person paying tax under Section 51 or Section 52, a casual taxable person and a non-resident taxable person, to furnish an annual return for every financial year electronically in the prescribed form on or before the thirty-first day of December of the following financial year. The form prescribed under Rule 80(1) is GSTR-9. Section 44(2) read with Rule 80(3) requires a registered person whose aggregate turnover during the financial year exceeds the limit notified by the Government to additionally furnish a self-certified reconciliation statement in Form GSTR-9C, reconciling the value of supplies declared in the annual return with the audited financial statements. The Empowered Committee 2009 First Discussion Paper had envisaged an annual return as the integrating layer that consolidates monthly compliance into a financial-year statement aligned with audited books, and the Section 44 framework retains that architectural intent.
The annual return is a consolidating disclosure, not a fresh assessment. The data flowing into GSTR-9 is drawn from the GSTR-1 outward supply returns, the GSTR-3B summary returns and the GSTR-2A and GSTR-2B inward supply auto-populated statements furnished during the year. GSTR-9 Tables 4 and 5 consolidate outward supply data from GSTR-1; GSTR-9 Tables 6 and 7 consolidate ITC and reversal data from GSTR-3B; GSTR-9 Table 8 reconciles ITC availed in GSTR-3B against ITC available in GSTR-2A. The annual return therefore presents the financial-year picture aggregated from twelve monthly returns (or four quarterly returns where the QRMP scheme has been opted under Section 39 and Rule 61A). It is not an independent re-determination of liability — it is a reconciliation layer that surfaces gaps between the monthly compliance and the audited books, and provides a Section 73 voluntary-payment opportunity via DRC-03 for any differential identified.
Under the pre-GST regime, State VAT laws and the Central Excise and Service Tax laws operated independent annual returns. Tamil Nadu VAT Form I-1 was filed within ninety days from year-end; Central Excise ER-1 was a monthly return without a consolidated annual disclosure; Service Tax ST-3 was half-yearly with no annual consolidation. The GST annual return unifies what had been three separate annual disclosures into a single Section 44 layer cutting across goods and services. The unification reflects the destination-based design principle articulated in the OECD International VAT/GST Guidelines and operationalises the GST Council's mandate under Article 246A and Article 279A of the Constitution. The result is a single reconciliation framework against audited books, replacing the fragmented tax-type-wise annual returns that the Empowered Committee 2009 had identified as a source of compliance friction in the pre-GST architecture.
GSTR-9 is verified under Rule 80 read with Rule 26 of the CGST Rules. Verification by Digital Signature Certificate is mandatory for companies, LLPs and certain other entities; verification by Electronic Verification Code is permitted for proprietorships, partnerships and HUFs. The verification is by the authorised signatory designated in REG-01 or any subsequent amendment. Once verified and filed, GSTR-9 cannot be revised — there is no facility for filing a revised annual return. The unrevisability is a structural feature that places a high premium on accuracy at first filing; any subsequent correction must be routed through DRC-03 (for liability) or through carry-forward into the next year's GSTR-9 Tables 10 to 14 (for spillover disclosures). The unrevisability also explains why the 30th November cut-off in Section 39(9) for prior-period GSTR-1 amendments is treated by practitioners as the operational deadline preceding the GSTR-9 filing window.
Form GSTR-9 is structured into six parts comprising nineteen tables. Part I (Tables 1 to 3) captures basic information — GSTIN, legal name and aggregate turnover. Part II (Tables 4 and 5) consolidates outward supplies and advances on which tax is payable and not payable respectively. Part III (Tables 6 to 8) consolidates ITC details — ITC availed during the year (Table 6), ITC reversed and ineligible (Table 7), and the ITC reconciliation against GSTR-2A (Table 8). Part IV (Table 9) reflects tax paid during the year head-wise (CGST, SGST, IGST, cess) with separate columns for tax payable, tax paid through cash and tax paid through ITC. Part V (Tables 10 to 14) captures particulars of transactions for the previous financial year declared in returns of the current financial year — the spillover disclosure. Part VI (Tables 15 to 19) captures demands and refunds (Table 15), composition supplies received and deemed supplies under Section 143 (Table 16), HSN-wise summary of outward supplies (Table 17), HSN-wise summary of inward supplies (Table 18), and late fee payable (Table 19).
Several GSTR-9 tables are auto-populated from the corresponding monthly returns filed during the year. Table 4 outward supplies and Table 5 zero-rated and exempt supplies are auto-populated from GSTR-1. Table 6 ITC details and Table 9 tax paid are auto-populated from GSTR-3B. Table 8A ITC available as per GSTR-2A is auto-populated from the auto-drafted GSTR-2A for the year. The auto-population is editable — the taxpayer may modify the auto-populated values where reconciliation with books-of-account or with subsequent return amendments requires it. The Tabular auto-population reduces preparation effort substantially compared with the early 2017 design where every cell required manual data entry. The CBIC has issued successive clarifications through circulars governing the auto-population mechanism and the permissible adjustments at the time of GSTR-9 filing.
Taxpayers with aggregate turnover exceeding ₹5 crore in the financial year must file both GSTR-9 and the self-certified reconciliation statement in GSTR-9C under Section 44(2) read with Rule 80(3). The ₹5 crore threshold has been operative from FY 2020-21 onwards through Notification 30/2021-CT; the threshold previously stood at ₹2 crore for chartered-accountant-certified GSTR-9C under the pre-Finance Act 2021 regime. The current ₹5 crore threshold combined with self-certification represents two simultaneous policy moves discussed at the 43rd and 45th GST Council meetings — raising the threshold to reduce the number of taxpayers covered, and removing the third-party certification requirement to reduce per-return compliance cost. The combined effect is a substantially narrower and lighter assurance layer than the original 2017 design contemplated.
The threshold determination under Rule 80 uses aggregate turnover as defined in Section 2(6) of the CGST Act. Aggregate turnover means the aggregate value of all taxable supplies (excluding inward supplies on which tax is payable on reverse charge basis), exempt supplies, exports of goods and services, and inter-State supplies of persons having the same Permanent Account Number, computed on an all-India basis. The PAN-level computation is critical — a multi-State taxpayer with separate GSTINs in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana aggregates turnover across all four GSTINs for threshold determination, even though each GSTIN files its own GSTR-9 separately. The exclusion of reverse-charge inward supplies prevents double-counting (since the supplier's outward supply has already been counted), and the inclusion of exempt and zero-rated supplies ensures that the threshold captures all economic activity, not just taxable supplies.
Rule 80(1A) of the CGST Rules provides that the Commissioner may, on the recommendations of the Council, by notification, exempt any class of registered persons from filing the annual return. The Government has used this power through successive notifications to exempt taxpayers with aggregate turnover up to ₹2 crore from mandatory GSTR-9 filing for specified financial years. The exemption is optional — taxpayers below ₹2 crore may still file GSTR-9 if they choose, and many do so to close the financial-year position cleanly for working-capital or compliance-rating purposes. The ₹2 crore threshold is computed on aggregate turnover per Section 2(6) — the PAN-level sum of taxable, exempt, export and inter-State supplies. The exemption does not affect Section 35 books-of-account retention obligations or Section 36 record-retention obligations; the underlying records must be maintained regardless of whether the annual return is filed.
Under the substituted Section 44 effective 1 August 2021, GSTR-9C is self-certified by the registered person rather than certified by a chartered accountant or cost accountant. The self-certification is by the same authorised signatory who signs GSTR-9, verified by Digital Signature Certificate where mandatory or by Electronic Verification Code where permitted. The self-certification is a statement that the reconciliation has been prepared from the audited books for the period and that the disclosures are true and complete to the best of the signatory's knowledge. The certification language tracks the principles articulated by the OECD Forum on Tax Administration on co-operative compliance — placing primary assurance with the taxpayer subject to administration-side risk-based verification. The shift from third-party to self-certification has not diluted the underlying preparation discipline; practitioners report that internal preparation rigour has if anything increased because the assurance responsibility now sits directly with the registered person.
GSTR-9C draws on the audited annual financial statements prepared under the Companies Act 2013, the Limited Liability Partnership Act 2008, or the relevant entity-specific statute. Section 35 of the CGST Act requires every registered person to keep and maintain at the principal place of business the books of account and other records prescribed under Rule 56; where the books are audited under any law, the audited financial statements form the documentary anchor for GSTR-9C reconciliation. The linkage requires that GSTIN-level disclosure in GSTR-9 reconciles to State-or-UT-level financial statements where the audited financials are entity-level. The reconciling step from entity-level audited turnover to GSTIN-level GSTR-9 turnover is itself disclosed in Part A and is one of the most material reasons-column entries for multi-State taxpayers.
The GSTR-9C self-certification framework, viewed in the lens of the OECD International VAT/GST Guidelines, aligns with several OECD-member regimes that operate VAT-to-accounting reconciliation as a self-attested taxpayer obligation. Several EU member-State regimes operate a VAT-to-statutory-accounts reconciliation as part of the annual VAT return; the UK VAT system uses Making Tax Digital quarterly returns with annual accounting-tied reconciliation principles. The Indian GSTR-9C post-Finance Act 2021 sits closer to these self-attested regimes than to the pre-2021 chartered-accountant-certified design, reflecting the broader OECD Forum on Tax Administration shift toward co-operative compliance models. The architectural convergence is a deliberate alignment articulated in successive GST Council discussions on reducing compliance cost while preserving the integrity of the reconciliation layer through self-certification supported by risk-based administration verification.
What Indira Nagar clients usually ask next: Where Indira Nagar differs: for Indira Nagar's premium business segment that values fixed-fee compliance with senior-practitioner involvement.
Table 14 of GSTR-9 separately discloses input tax credit availed on inward supplies attracting reverse charge during the year. The disclosure has been retained as optional from FY 2017-18 onwards via the annual exemption notifications successively issued, though a great many reconciled annual returns still populate Table 14 as a defensive measure alongside Tables 6C and 6D.
Table 15 of GSTR-9 captures refunds claimed, sanctioned, rejected and pending during the year along with demand orders issued, taxes paid against demand and demand still pending. The figures must tie to RFD-06 refund sanction orders and DRC-07 demand orders available on the common portal.
Table 16 of GSTR-9 captures three categories of inward transactions — supplies received from composition taxpayers, deemed exports received and goods sent on approval basis but not returned inside the prescribed period. Reporting is retained as optional from FY 2017-18 onwards via annual notifications successively issued, though most reconciled returns continue to populate the line for completeness.
Table 17 of GSTR-9 captures the HSN-wise summary of outward supplies during the financial year. Reporting granularity mirrors GSTR-1 — four-digit HSN where aggregate turnover during the preceding year was up to five crore rupees, and six-digit HSN where it exceeded five crore. Notification 78/2020-Central Tax governs.
Table 18 of GSTR-9 captures the HSN-wise summary of inward supplies during the year. Reporting is kept optional from FY 2017-18 onwards via annual exemption notifications successively issued, though reconciled returns frequently populate the table as a defensive measure during any subsequent Section 65 audit.
Table 19 of GSTR-9 captures the late fee payable under Section 47(2) for delayed filing of the annual return and the late fee actually paid through PMT-06. Where the return is filed before the statutory due date the late fee is nil; the table operates only on delayed filings under the graded rate structure of Notification 07/2023-Central Tax.
Part A of GSTR-9C walks audited annual financial-statement turnover at line A through eleven adjusting heads — unbilled revenue, deemed supplies, year-end credit notes, trade discounts, foreign-exchange gains or losses, deemed exports and others — to arrive at GSTR-9 turnover sitting at line P. Each adjusting head is supported by a working paper plus a reasons note keyed to the underlying journal entries.
Part B of GSTR-9C reconciles tax payable as per the books with tax paid as declared in the annual return. The structure runs across CGST, SGST, IGST and cess. Variances are explained against each line and any additional liability is discharged through Form DRC-03 with interest under Section 50.
Part C of GSTR-9C reconciles input tax credit availed as per the books with input tax credit availed in the annual return at Tables 6 and 8. Variances are explained against each line and any excess credit is reversed in the next GSTR-3B with interest at Section 50(3).
Reasons sheet is the contemporaneous working paper that records, against each reconciling line in GSTR-9C Part A, Part B and Part C and against each Table 8 variance line in GSTR-9, the explanation, the supporting documents and the reference to underlying ledger entries. The sheet is the foundation of any subsequent audit defence under Section 65.
Unbilled revenue is income recognised in the audited financial statements on the accrual basis for which an invoice has not been issued by the close of the financial year. It is a reconciling addition in GSTR-9C Part A line B; the underlying GST liability is settled in the period in which time of supply at Section 12 or Section 13 is triggered.
Deemed supply is a transaction treated as a supply under Schedule I to the CGST Act notwithstanding the absence of consideration — covering supply between related persons or distinct persons in the course of business, supplies between an agent and principal, and certain imports. It surfaces in GSTR-9C Part A as a books-to-return adjustment.

“FilingPro filed our GSTR-9 and self-certified GSTR-9C for FY 2022-23 by mid-December. Table 8 ITC tied to the rupee against GSTR-2A and our auditor signed off without a single qualification. The earlier consultant used to leave it to 30th December — we are never going back.”
“We had a Table 8D mismatch from FY 2018-19 that another consultant said would invite a Section 73 notice. FilingPro reconciled the supplier-side filings, identified ₹4.2 lakh as a timing difference and ₹38,000 as genuine short ITC. DRC-03 paid for the short portion and a clean GSTR-9C filed. No notice till date.”
“Our turnover crossed ₹5 crore in FY 2021-22 for the first time. FilingPro walked us through the GSTR-9C self-certification process, prepared Parts A B and C with full working papers and the management sign-off was signed in 30 minutes. Smooth handover compared to the earlier CA-attested regime.”
“We have GSTINs in Tamil Nadu Karnataka and Telangana under one PAN. FilingPro prepared three GSTR-9s and three GSTR-9Cs with consistent turnover apportionment from the audited consolidated financials. Single point of contact and no version-control issues.”
“Section 47(2) late fee of ₹200/day on GSTR-9 was a real risk for us — we had filed late in FY 2019-20 and paid almost ₹37,000. With FilingPro since FY 2020-21 we have filed every GSTR-9 by 15th December. Zero late fees in three consecutive years.”
“Got a Section 65 audit notice for FY 2020-21. FilingPro's GSTR-9C working papers — particularly the Part A reasons column tying audited turnover to GSTR-9 — closed the audit with a nil objection memo. Worth several times what we paid for the annual return work.”
