As per the GST law, it is mandatory for all the Registered person to get their accounts audited
by a chartered accountant or a cost accountant whose aggregate turnover during a financial
year exceeds the threshold limit of Rs. 2 Crore. Whence, no such audit is required to be got
done by the Chartered or Cost accountant in cases other than mentioned above.

Aggregate Turnover has been defined in Section 2(6) of CGST/ SGST Act and the definition of
aggregate turnover includes ‘inter-state supplies of a person having the same PAN’. Thus, we
see that stock transfers/ cross-charges of services provided from a branch, located in one state
to a branch located in another state is included in the definition of Aggregate turnover of the
related branch supplying goods/ services.
which are effective within the States having same GSTIN for
The term ‘aggregate turnover’ is not supposed to be included in stock transfers effective within
the same state having single GSTIN for the purpose of determining the threshold limit. However,
in cases where more than one GSTIN has been allotted for the different branches located in the
same state, such branch transfers shall be included for computing threshold limit of Rs. 2 crore
to get to the conclusion that whether there is any requirement for audit or not.
As ‘aggregate turnover’ has been defined under the GST Act, it includes ‘exempt supplies’.
Thus, even in the case of a registered person under GST who provides exempted supplies, will
have to file Form GSTR 9C.
States?
Provision is that Section 35(5) of SGST Act requires Audit to be conducted in addition to
Section 35(5) of CGST Act. Thus, to maintain Compliance audit is required to be conducted
state wise as per Section 35(5) of SGST Act. Thus, if we consider an example like if a person is
having registration in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, then he is required to be audited for his
accounts under KGST Act, 17 and TNGST Act, 17. The GSTR 9C form is required to be filed
https://blog.saginfotech.com/gstr-9c-online-return-filing 29/44
12/7/2019 Easy Guide to GSTR 9C (GST Audit Form) Online Return Filing Process
under Rule 80(3) of KGST Rules, 2017 and the TNGST Rules. Thus, it is evident that a person
registered in more than one state is supposed to file form GSTR 9C registration wise for each
and every state.
A GST practitioner gets authorization for the practice of the below-mentioned rules as per
Section 48 of the CGST/ SGST Act under Rule 83(8) of the CGST/ SGST Act:
The GST Act/ Rules does not give the ‘Power to Audit’ to a GST practitioner as per section
35(5). ‘Power to Audit’ is only granted to Chartered Accountants or Cost Accountants. Thus, it is
not required for a Chartered Accountant to get registered as a GST practitioner for certifying
Form GSTR 9C.
Q.7 – What are the documents to be enclosed along with GSTR 9C?
Under section 35(5), it is stated that a copy of audited accounts and other such
documents in the prescribed manner along with the reconciliation statement (Form GSTR
9C) to be submitted.
The ‘Prescription’ which is mentioned in the Act should be provided as mentioned in the
term ‘as may be prescribed’. Only the audited annual accounts have been prescribed in
Rule 80(3) in the name of documents.
Talking about Part B of GSTR 9C, it is required by the GST Auditor to get a copy of audit
report of the entity enclosed where the audit of the entity has been conducted by another

12/7/2019 Easy Guide to GSTR 9C (GST Audit Form) Online Return Filing Process
Q.8 – Should the Form GSTR 9 and Form GSTR 9C get filed
separately?
As per Section 44(2) of the CGST/ SGST Act 2017, a Registered person is required to file his
Annual return in Form GSTR 9 along with this he has to provide a reconciliation statement
through Form GSTR 9C. Thus we see, Form GSTR 9C is required to be filed along with Form
GSTR 9 where the turnover exceeds Rs. 2 crores.
The Section 44(2) states that the reconciliation statement is required to be provided in Form
GSTR 9C along with the Form GSTR 9. Section 44(1), on the other hand, declares the due
dates. As per this section, the due date for filing the annual return is on or before the thirty-first
day of December following the end of the FY for which the Annual return is prepared. Thus, the
conclusion could be drawn that the due date for filing reconciliation statement in Form GSTR 9C
is on or before the thirty-first day of December following the end of the financial year for which
the reconciliation statement is being prepared.
Q.10 – Could the late fee be waived off in Genuine and special
cases?
The Government has the right to get a part or full of the late fee, mentioned in section 47,
waived through notification, for such section of taxpayers and under such mitigating and
specified circumstances. All this could be done on the recommendation of the Council.
However, no such notification is evident to till date issued by the Central Government/ State
Government.

12/7/2019 Easy Guide to GSTR 9C (GST Audit Form) Online Return Filing Process
registered?
As per Section 35(5) of the CGST Act, only a Registered person is required to get his
accounts audited by a CA or CWA. Again, a non-filer is a Registered Person according to
Section 25 of the CGST Act, thus he must get audit conducted under Section 35(5) of the
said Act. Considering practically, such a person would never had filed his returns and
hence, Form 9 & 9C wouldn’t be possible in his case and no audit for him is required.
Understanding clearly, an unregistered person who is eligible for registration under
Section 25 of the CGST is a taxable person. Here, the unregistered Person is not a
Registered Person as per Section 2(94) of the CGST Act 2017. Hence, following Section
35(5) of the Act, audit is not required.
Form GSTR-9C?
Form GSTR 9C consists of 2 parts. Part-A consists of Reconciliation statement and Part B is
Certificate to be issued by GST Auditor.
