    Overview

    Filing Annual Return in GST-9 & GST-9C in India

    In India, the Goods and Services Tax (GST) law mandates taxpayers to file annual returns to summarize their yearly transactions. The primary forms used are GST-9 and GST-9C.

    GST-9 is the annual return form that every registered taxpayer must file. It includes details of outward and inward supplies made during the financial year, taxes paid, input tax credit claimed, and other relevant information. Filing GST-9 helps the government cross-verify the monthly or quarterly returns filed throughout the year. The form is simple and primarily for taxpayers who have filed regular returns under GST.

    GST-9C is a reconciliation statement that must be filed by taxpayers whose turnover exceeds ₹5 crores during the financial year. It requires a certified auditor’s report, ensuring that the annual return in GST-9 matches the taxpayer’s audited financial statements. This adds a layer of verification and accuracy.

    The due date for filing both GST-9 and GST-9C is generally December 31st following the end of the financial year. Timely and accurate filing helps avoid penalties and ensures compliance under GST law. Overall, these annual returns play a crucial role in maintaining transparency and accountability in the GST system in India.
