GSTR - 9C Filling

[narendra patel]

Sir,

My Total Turnover is only Fifty Lakhs being first year of business, I filed GSTR-9, now the button to file of GSTR-9C is enabled. Do I have to file the GSTR-9C, because according to Law, only persons with Turnover above 2 Crores has to file GSTR-9C. Please Guide.

Thanks.

You are not required to file GSTR 9C. I have filed GSTR 9 in respect of one of my clients. The Common Portal System did not ask for filing of GSTR 9C. My GSTR 9 stands accepted by the Common Portal System. 'Enabled' does not mean requirement.

Thank you very much for your prompt reply.

With Respect.

Thanks.

You are not required to file Form 9C as said by Shri Sethi.

AI Summary

GSTR-9C filing requirement: taxpayers below the turnover threshold need not file despite portal enabling the option.
Requirement to file GSTR 9C is triggered by exceeding the statutory turnover threshold; taxpayers below that threshold are not required to file GSTR 9C. The portal enabling the GSTR 9C option does not alter the legal obligation. A taxpayer may file Form GSTR 9 and have it accepted by the portal without needing to submit GSTR 9C when the turnover condition for certification is not met.
