A registered taxpayer must compulsorily file GSTR-9 and GSTR-9C annual return forms if the cumulative turnover of a particular financial year is more than a defined threshold, explained in the later sections. The due date for FY 2023-24 is 31st December, 2024.
For the said FY, the government via notification no. 12/2024 – Central Tax, dated 10.07.2024 and notification no. 12/2024 – Central Tax, dated 10.07.2024, have introduced relevant changes to the Forms GSTR-9 and GSTR-9C. With these changes, it becomes difficult to access the latest GSTR 9 PDF format and the latest GSTR 9C PDF format.
In this article, we provide a complete overview of GST annual return forms and the PDF format, i.e., GSTR-9 PDF format and GSTR-9C Annual Reconciliation Statement PDF format.
The GSTR-9 is an annual GST return filed by all regular GST-registered taxpayers. However, it is optional for taxpayers whose cumulative turnover is at most Rs.2 crore in a financial year. The GSTR 9 format primarily contains details of sales and purchases in a year, any amendments made, tax liability, input tax credit, refund, HSN summary, and tax demanded and paid.
A few types of taxpayers need not file GSTR-9, such as casual taxable persons, non-resident taxable persons, persons deducting TDS or collecting TCS and input service distributors.

Form GSTR-9C is an annual self-certified reconciliation statement highlighting differences, if any, primarily in the tax liability and ITC by comparing the audited financial statements with the GSTR-9 form. All regular taxpayers having a cumulative turnover above Rs.5 crore for the financial year must compulsorily file GSTR 9C format.
The same set of exceptions for GSTR-9 applies to GSTR-9C, with an additional exception given to foreign airline companies compliant with the Companies Act 2013. Further, persons who are non-residents and providing OIDAR service in India to unregistered persons have been exempted from submitting GSTR-9 and GSTR-9C.
Along with the reconciliation statement GSTR 9C format PDF, the authorised person of the taxpayer must self-certify it separately. The user must file GSTR 9C format either after or at the time of filing GSTR-9.
