GSTR-9 and GSTR-9C are two very important interlinked cogs of India’s new Indirect Tax GST. While GSTR-9 is an annual return, the GSTR-9C is a reconciliation statement signed by a designated authority (auditor or a Chartered Accountant or a CMA). One important and common feature of both the forms is that they can be filed only once. Hence It becomes increasingly important to be careful.
