Hello Sir,

I am Registered under GST as a Transporter from August 2017.
My Turnover is less (most of the service attract reverse charge i. e. samne vali party pay karti hai gst ) so I opted for quarterly option for filing GSTR - 1 & from beginning to now I have filed all the returns i.e. GSTR 3B & GSTR-1 ( in some returns with late fees ).

But not filed Annual return GSTR 9 because I read about that the exemption is given to the small taxpayers from filing of GSTR-9. So my query is that is there any non compliance of act if I continue to not file GSTR 9 ?

Thanks in advance
