Key Points To Remember
- GSTR-9 & 9C Relaxation: For taxpayers with an Annual Aggregate Turnover (AATO) up to 2 Crore, filing the Annual Return (GSTR-9) is still generally optional for most financial years. The reconciliation statement (GSTR-9C) is only mandatory for taxpayers with an AATO above 5 Crore.
