In your case Sir, both the Branch as well as the Head Office is required to file Annual Return ( FORM GSTR-9 ) since your "Annual Aggregate Turnover" exceeds Rs. 2 crores. Note that the Aggregate Turnover is calculated PAN wise as defined U/s 2(6) of the CGST Act 2017. So the turnover of both the HO & Branch Office will be taken into consideration for calculating the limit of Rs. 2 crores.
As far as GSTR-9C i.e. Reconciliation Statement and Audit Report is concerned, it would be required to file only if your Aggregate Turnover exceeds Rs. 5 crores. The limit has been increased only for FY 2018-19 vide Notification No. 16/2020 - Central Tax, dated 23rd March 2020 by inserting a new Proviso to sub rule (3) of Rule 80 of the CGST Rules 2017.
