<h1>GSTR-9 Filing for 2018-19 Extended to Oct 31, 2020; Ensure Correct Data Entry to Avoid Errors.</h1> The due date for filing the Annual Return (GSTR-9) for the fiscal year 2018-19 has been extended to October 31, 2020, following notification No. 69/2020. Some taxpayers reported that the auto-populated GSTR-9 for 2018-19 mistakenly includes data from 2017-18. Taxpayers should report only 2018-19 data, ignoring any previously reported 2017-18 figures. No penalties will be imposed for discrepancies in returns already filed. The annual return is mandatory for taxpayers with an annual turnover above Rs. 2 crore, while the reconciliation statement (GSTR-9C) is required for those with turnover above Rs. 5 crore. Taxpayers are urged to file promptly.
