Due date for Submission of GSTR9, GSTR9C for the F.Y 2020-21 is 31st Dec 2021. The due date for Tax Audit under Income Tax Act being later than due dates of submission of GSTR-9, 9A & 9C with Audited financial statements, it is practically not possible to submit GSTR-9, 9A and 9C by 31st Dec., 2021 in large number of taxpayers as audit work is likely to be completed during the period 01.01.2022 to 15.01.2022.
