GSTR 9 Annual Return Filing

About our Service

What is GSTR 9?  

GSTR-9 is an annual return that must be filed by every registered taxpayer under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime, except certain categories such as composition taxpayers, casual taxable persons, non-resident taxable persons, and input service distributors. This return provides a consolidated summary of all monthly or quarterly GST returns filed during the financial year, including details of outward and inward supplies, taxes paid, input tax credit claimed and reversed, and any demands or refunds. Filing GSTR-9 helps ensure accurate reconciliation and compliance with GST laws.

 Key Components of GSTR 9   

  • Basic Details: This section includes the taxpayer’s GSTIN, legal name, and trade name (if any). It helps in identifying the taxpayer and verifying the basic registration details relevant to the return filing.

  • Details of Outward and Inward Supplies: This part captures a summary of all outward supplies (sales) made during the year, including taxable, exempt, and non-GST supplies, as well as inward supplies on which tax is paid under reverse charge. It reflects the consolidated sales and purchase data reported in monthly returns.

  • Input Tax Credit (ITC): Here, taxpayers report the total ITC availed, reversed, and ineligible credits for the financial year. It is divided into ITC on inputs, input services, and capital goods, ensuring accurate reconciliation with books of accounts and GSTR-3B.

  • Details of Tax Paid: This section requires the taxpayer to declare the total tax paid during the year, including CGST, SGST, IGST, and Cess. It includes payment through cash or utilization of ITC, reflecting the actual tax liability discharged.

  • Transaction Reconciliation: This component focuses on reconciling the data reported in the monthly/quarterly returns with the audited financial statements. It ensures there are no mismatches between actual business transactions and GST returns filed.

  • Other Information: This includes additional data such as demands and refunds, late fees, interest paid, and other adjustments made during the year. It helps in capturing any corrections or issues settled post return filings.

Consequences of Non-Compliance   

the late fee structure for GSTR-9 is as follows:

Annual Turnover in State / UT

Late Fee per Day (CGST + SGST)

Maximum Cap (per Act)

Total Maximum Cap (CGST + SGST)

Up to ₹5 crore

₹50 (₹25 + ₹25)

0.04% of turnover in that state/UT

0.08% (combined)

₹5 crore to ₹20 crore

₹100 (₹50 + ₹50)

0.04% of turnover in that state/UT

0.08% (combined)

Above ₹20 crore

₹200 (₹100 + ₹100)

0.25% of turnover in that state/UT

0.50% (combined)

Notes:

  • The “per day” late fee is cumulative until the return (and reconciliation, if applicable) is filed.

  • The maximum cap is applied per Act (CGST or SGST) separately; so the combined upper cap is double that.

  • If reconciliation (GSTR-9C) is applicable and is filed late, the late fee continues until both GSTR-9 and GSTR-9C are submitted.

  • For FY 2022-23 and earlier, if GSTR-9C was not filed earlier but is filed by 31 March 2025, the excess late fees for that GSTR-9C are waived (subject to conditions).

Who is required to File GSTR 9?   

Every registered taxpayer under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime in India is required to file GSTR-9, except for the following categories:

  • Taxpayers under the Composition Scheme (they file GSTR-9A instead)

  • Casual taxable persons

  • Non-resident taxable persons

  • Input Service Distributors (ISD)

  • Persons liable to collect TCS under Section 52

  • Persons liable to deduct TDS under Section 51
