Sir may i know is there any notification saying table 17 & 18 Optional
Is mandatory to file gstr4 annual return
Hsn MANDATORY..?
Sir,
Please clear HSN IS MANDATORY OR OPTINAL.?
is table 8a to 8d mandatory in GSTR-9 for FY 2019-20?
Rate wise taxability on outward supply as disclosed in Table 9. The auditor has relied on information as provided by management /the basis of books of Account. Auditor has reconciled only rate as per books of account and rates declared in GST returns. We have not verified the accuracy and correctness of classification in books of account as same has also been suggested vide para h of the press release dated 3rd July 2019. Does this press release still holds valid???
F.Y. 2019-20 GSTR-9 FORM
Table 17 & 18 optional no notification confirming this
May I know under which notification, HSN summary is made optional for F.Y. 2019-20?
Dear Sir
Many Thanks for this useful comparision
However wanted to know Whether in 2019-20 GSTR-9C expneses wise details is mandatory ?
Sir, I think there is a small typographical mistake in Table 6 as Table 6A provides auto-populated from GSTR-3B return and not GSTR-2A.
