Question:-26
We have been told that GSTR 9 should be filed first. It is also told that
GSTR 9C is to be filed. Once the GSTR 9 is filed no corrections are allowed in
GSTR 9. We are not much acquainted with GSTR 9C. Unless GSTR 9 is filed we
cannot file GSTR 9C. If any corrections required by GSTR 9C in GSTR 9 it is not
possible. Please let me know whether we can file GSTR 9 and GSTR 9C file
simultaneously. GSTR 9C is not allow to fill unless GSTR 9 is filed.
Answer
One can file GSTR 9C only when GSTR 9 is filed and there is no possibility of
simultaneous filing of GSTR 9 and GSTR 9C.
Further it is advised that whatever additional declarations are supposed to be
made should be made through GSTR 9 and not through GSTR 9C as GSTR 9C is an
Audit Report and will be considered as findings in the course of GST Audit.
