Annual Return (GSTR-9) Filing Services

Complete GSTR-9 Annual Return Filing — Accurate, Compliant and On Time

GSTR-9 is the annual GST return that every regular taxpayer registered under GST must file for each financial year. It consolidates all monthly and quarterly returns (GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B) filed during the year and provides a comprehensive summary of outward and inward supplies, ITC availed, and tax paid. Errors in GSTR-9 can expose businesses to scrutiny, demands, and penalties. At Caselaadvisors, we provide accurate, timely, and fully reconciled GSTR-9 filing services.

What is GSTR-9 Annual Return?

GSTR-9 is an annual summary return filed by regular GST taxpayers providing details of all outward and inward supplies made/received, taxes paid, input tax credit availed and reversed, and other relevant details for the full financial year. It must be filed by December 31 following the end of the financial year. Taxpayers with aggregate turnover exceeding Rs 5 crore must also file GSTR-9C (self-certified reconciliation statement). Non-filing or incorrect filing attracts late fees of Rs 200 per day (Rs 100 CGST + Rs 100 SGST) and potential scrutiny.
