What will happen if forget to file GSTR-09

Failing to file the GSTR-9 by December 31 attracts late fees and penalties:


  • if your aggregate Turnover is up to ₹5 crore:   

     ₹50/day (₹25 each under CGST and SGST), Maximum amount up to  0.04% of turnover.

  • If your aggregate Turnover is ₹5 crore to ₹20 crore:

  • ₹100/day (₹50 each under CGST and SGST), Maximum amount up to 0.04% of turnover.

  • If your aggregate Turnover is above ₹20 crore:

Late filing also increases scrutiny from tax authorities and can disrupt audit processes.
