Issues reported in filing Form GSTR 9C by the taxpayers : Steps to be taken

Taxpayers have reported some issues in filing their Form GSTR 9C, which are clarified below:

1. Turnover for filing Form GSTR- 9C:Form GSTR-9C is to be filed by all those taxpayers whose aggregate turnover has exceeded Rs 2 crore in a financial year. Turnover of complete year i.e. from 1st April, 2017 to 31st March, 2018 has to be taken into account for calculating the turnover. For example, if a taxpayer has a turnover of Rs. 2.1 Cr for the period 1st April, 2017 to 31st March, 2018 and a turnover of Rs. 1.9 Cr for the period 1st July, 2017 to 31st March, 2018, then the taxpayer is required to file form GSTR- 9C.

2. 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.

3. 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 and to avoid payment of late fee.
