The Goods and Services Tax ( GST ) portal, in a recent advisory, resolved the issues on filing of GSTR-9C.

Every registered person whose aggregate turnover during a financial year exceeds two crore rupees shall get his accounts audited as specified under sub-section (5) of section 35 of the CGST Act, and shall furnish a copy of the audited annual accounts and a reconciliation statement, duly certified, in FORM GSTR-9C.

The advisory issued in the portal said that the taxpayers have reported some issues in filing their Form GSTR 9C, which are clarified below:

  1. User getting error message while using Excel version: You are also advised to use Microsoft excel version higher than 2007 while preparing Form GSTR 9C.
  2. Providing Membership Number by Auditor: While filing Part B of Form GSTR-9C, Auditors are advised to give their membership number without prefixing ‘0’ in their membership number. If membership number is ‘016’, then auditor should enter ‘16’ on the aforesaid part in the membership number field & not ‘016’.

“All the taxpayers are requested to file their FORM GSTR 9C at the earliest, to avoid last minute rush,” it said.

Recently, the all-powerful GST council had decided to extend the deadline to file forms GSTR-9, GSTR-9A and GSTR-9C till August 30, 2019. The earlier deadline to file these returns was June 30, 2019.
