Extension of GSTR annual return deadline sought due to portal auto population errors and unresolved ITC reconciliation issues.
The representation requests extension and alignment of filing deadlines for GSTR-9, GSTR-9A and GSTR-9C due to systemic portal and form deficiencies: unreliable auto-population from GSTR-2A (notably Table 8A), unexplained mismatches with taxpayer records, inconsistent treatment of amended invoices, combined debit/credit note reporting, burdensome HSN/SAC requirements, problematic ITC treatment across years and reverse charge reporting, and onerous audit certification and cash flow statement demands. It urges simplification, clear statutory-aligned instructions, HSN relaxation for initial years, and administrative relief or deadline extension to enable accurate reconciliation. (AI Summary)
