Annual GST Return – 9 for Financial Year 2018-19 – Errors – Rectification Required

Hope you might be aware of the due date to file GSTR-9 (Annual Return) & GSTR-9C (Reconciliation Statement) for the financial year 18-19 is 31/03/2020 via Order No. 08/2019-Central Tax dated 14.11.2019. However few registered persons & professionals are still in the process of filing the GSTR-9 & GSTR-9C for the F.Y.17-18. Let me coming to the point precisely,

  • Kind Attention – Tax payers

Forms to file GSTR-9 & GSTR-9C for the F.Y.18-19 were enabled (i.e. Forms are in operating state) in GST portal. However it seems there is no official notification with respect to the same. But By this time and all most of you would have received this information. If not, kindly make note of it.

  • Errors in GSTR-9 form – Rectification Required

So far there are two errors that are majorly facing by the professionals & the registered persons while filing the GSTR-9 for the F.Y.18-19.

Annual GST Return (GSTR 9)

1. Common Error – GSTR-2A credit not auto populated in Table 8

The most common issue facing by every taxpayer is the Input tax credit (ITC) as per GSTR-2A is not reflecting/auto-populating in Table 8 of form GSTR-9 for the F.Y.18-19. Many professional experts & other professional associations made representations on behalf of taxpayers to the GSTN Technical team & to other respective officials at CBIC regarding this matter. Expecting corrective measures as early as possible by the said department.

2. Error with respect to Transition credit – Table 6

This error is commonly seen among the registered persons who claimed & availed transition credit (via GST TRAN 1 & TRAN 2 forms) during the F.Y.17-18.

Amount of transition credit, the same what we claimed & availed during the F.Y.17-18 is again reflecting/auto-populating in the Table 6 of GSTR-9 for the F.Y.18-19. But the difference between the first & the second error is, we can edit the error in Table 6 of the said form, whereas error at Table 8 can be rectified only by the said department.

But if we edit & make that column as ‘zero’ in Table 6, then that column will reflect in red colour as per the note at the top of the said table. (Note – If 20% variation in the figures, then that column will reflect red in colour). Therefore it requires needful action from the said department as early as possible.

    Dear Sir,
    What would be the treatment of ITC of 17-18 claimed in 2018-19 as the same figure is reflecting in table 6B of 2018-19 and the table 8 displaying the auto populated figure from 2A of the FY 2018-19.
    Secondly supplies of 2017-18 declared in 2018-19 through amendment we have reflected in part V of GSTR9. And the tax was also paid in 2018-19 so kindly confirm whether we have to deduct such amount of Tax liability from Tax payable column or remain as it is as such figures of tax payable auto populated from GSTR 3B of 2018-19

  7. Darr says:

    Sir,
    Greetings
    i have made a mistake while filling GSTR3B in some months of financial year 2018-19. i claimed by mistake 10000/-extra of ITC (i.e, of April 2019 in march 2019.)
    since the GSTR9 shows aggregate value of ITC in table 6A of GSTR9 (from 1st April to march 31 2019) which is more than actual amount.
    how to rectify the mistake in GSTR9?
    or how to rectify the error?
    Thankyou in anticipation.
