Understanding Form GSTR-9:
GSTR-9 is an annual report summarizing all business transactions, including purchases, sales, different taxes (CGST, SGST, IGST), and audit details. It is a consolidation of monthly or quarterly returns submitted throughout the fiscal year.

Applicability of GSTR-9:
Entities such as normal taxpayers, SEZ units, SEZ developers, and those transitioning from the composition scheme are obligated to submit GSTR-9. However, certain categories like composition taxpayers, casual taxpayers, non-resident taxpayers, and ISD/OIDAR service providers are exempt.

Types of GST Annual Returns:

• GSTR-9: Mandatory for entities with a turnover exceeding 2 crores, compiling comprehensive financial information.
• GSTR-4: Specifically for registered taxpayers under the composition scheme, addressing their unique requirements.
• GSTR-9C: A reconciliation statement between GSTR-9 and audited financial statements, applicable to taxpayers with a turnover exceeding five crores requiring an annual audit.

Filing GSTR-9A for Composition Scheme Participants:
Applicable to GST-registered taxpayers operating under the composition scheme, GSTR-9A compiles information submitted in their quarterly returns throughout the fiscal year. Exempt entities include Input Service Distributors, non-resident taxable individuals, those under TDS or TCS, and casual taxable individuals.

Filing GSTR-9C: Reconciliation Statement:
GSTR-9C is filed by taxpayers subjected to an annual GST audit. It serves as a reconciliation between GSTR-9 and audited financial statements, with preparation and certification handled by qualified Chartered or Cost Accountants.

Due Date and Penalties:
The due date for GSTR-9 filing is 31st December of the subsequent financial year or as extended by the Government. Late filing incurs penalties of Rs.50 per day for turnover up to 5 Crore, Rs. 100 per day for turnover from 5 Crore to 20 Crore, and Rs. 200 per day for turnover above 20 Crore (50 % of penalty each for CGST and SGST) up to the quarterly turnover amount.

Comprehensive Structure of GSTR-9:
The format is divided into six parts, capturing details like basic registration information, outward supplies, input tax credit, tax paid, transactions of the previous financial year, and miscellaneous details.

Prerequisite Actions for Annual Filing:
Before filing GSTR-9, ensure completion of other GST-related filings, including GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, or GSTR- CMP-08. Address any outstanding dues to avoid hindrances.
