Important Takeaways

• No changes will be made in Form GSTR 9 for FY 2017-18. Current tools available on the GSTN portal for the preparation and filing of GSTR-9 requires no changes and does not have any impact of changes made vide CGST Notification no. 56/2019 dated 14.11.19.

• No changes will be made in Form GSTR 9A for FY 2017-18.  Current tools available on the GSTN portal for the preparation and filing of GSTR-9A requires no changes and does not have any impact of changes made vide CGST Notification no. 56/2019 dated 14.11.19.

• Changed and update Form for GSTR 9C for FY 2017-18 is under development and is likely to be made available on 14th December 2019 on 21st December 2019.

• An announcement made on 28th November 2019 in the News & Updates Section of the GSTN Portal was subsequently amended.

• I hope this delay in making the Forms available will not lead to a further extension of the due date of filing Annual Returns & Reconciliation Statement for FY 2017-18.

Note: The due date for furnishing of Annual Return in the Form GSTR-9 and Reconciliation Statement in FORM GSTR-9C for the financial year 2017-18 is 31st December 2019.
