What is GSTR-9?

GSTR-9 is the annual GST return consolidating all monthly/quarterly returns for a financial year. Governed by Section 44 of CGST Act and Rule 80.

Key Deadline:

GSTR-9 for FY 2024-25 must be filed by December 31, 2025. Late fee: Rs. 200/day (Rs. 100 CGST + Rs. 100 SGST) capped at 0.5% of turnover.

Mandatory for regular taxpayers with turnover above Rs. 2 Crore. Optional for turnover up to Rs. 2 Crore but recommended. Exempt: ISD, TDS/TCS deductors, non-resident taxpayers, OIDAR service providers. Composition dealers file GSTR-9A.
