What is GSTR-9?

GSTR-9 is an annual GST return that consolidates all data filed during the year through GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B. It includes details of outward and inward supplies, taxes paid, input tax credit (ITC) claimed, and any adjustments made throughout the year.

Filing this return is mandatory for all regular taxpayers under the GST regime.


Who Needs to File GSTR-9?

  • All regular GST-registered taxpayers
  • Businesses with turnover exceeding ₹2 crore must also file GSTR-9C, certified by a Chartered Accountant
  • Composition dealers are exempt from GSTR-9 and previously filed GSTR-9A (no longer applicable from FY 2019–20)

Due Date for GSTR-9 Filing

The due date for filing GSTR-9 is 31st December following the end of the financial year, unless extended by the GST department.

Late filing attracts a penalty of ₹200 per day (₹100 under CGST + ₹100 under SGST), so timely filing is essential.
