For the financial year 2019-20, the due date for filing GSTR-9 (the annual return) and GSTR-9C (the reconciliation statement) has already been extended to 31st March 2021. Additionally, for the financial year 2020-21, the due date was further extended to 28th February 2022 . However, for the financial year 2021-22, the due date for filing both GSTR-9 and GSTR-9C is 31st December 2022.

Notably, the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) has exempted GST-registered taxpayers with an annual aggregate turnover of up to Rs. 2 crore in FY 21-22 from filing Form GSTR-9. This extension provides a window for making corrections in GST returns before filing GSTR-9 and GSTR-9C for FY 2021-22.

Remember that GSTR-9 is a consolidation of all the monthly/quarterly returns filed during the relevant financial year, while GSTR-9C is a reconciliation statement for taxpayers whose aggregate turnover exceeds five crore rupees in a financial year. If you fall within the exempted category, you can breathe easy regarding GSTR-9 filing for FY 2021-22! 📊💼
