Recent Clarifications on GSTR-9
CHIRAG JAIN
▪ Information contained in FORM GSTR-2A as on 01.05.2019 shall be auto-populated in Table 8Aof FORM GSTR-9.
▪ Input tax credit on inward supplies shall be declared from April 2018 to March 2019 in Table8C of FORM GSTR-9.
▪ Particulars of the transactions for FY 2017-18 declared in returns between April 2018 to March2019 shall be declared in Pt. V of FORM GSTR-9. Such particulars may contain details ofamendments furnished in Table 10 and Table 11 of FORM GSTR-1.
▪ It may be noted that irrespective of when the supply was declared in FORM GSTR-1, theprinciple of declaring a supply in Pt. II or Pt. V is essentially driven by when was tax paidthrough FORM GSTR-3B in respect of such supplies. If the tax on such supply was paid throughFORM GSTR-3B between July 2017 to March 2018 then such supply shall be declared in Pt. IIand if the tax was paid through FORM GSTR-3B between April 2018 to March 2019 then suchsupply shall be declared in Pt. V of FORM GSTR-9.
Recent Clarifications on GSTR-9
CHIRAG JAIN
▪ Any additional outward supply which was not declared by the registered person in FORM GSTR-1 and FORMGSTR-3B shall be declared in Pt. II of the FORM GSTR-9. Such additional liability shall be computed in Pt. IV andthe gap between the “tax payable” and “Paid through cash” column of FORM GSTR-9 shall be paid throughFORM DRC-03.
▪ Many taxpayers have reported a mismatch between auto-populated data and the actual entry in their books ofaccounts or returns. One common challenge reported by taxpayer is in Table 4 of FORM GSTR-9 where detailsmay have been missed in FORM GSTR-1 but tax was already paid in FORM GSTR-3B and therefore taxpayers seea mismatch between auto-populated data and data in FORM GSTR-3B. It may be noted that auto-population isa functionality provided to taxpayers for facilitation purposes, taxpayers shall report the data as per theirbooks of account or returns filed during the financial year.
▪ Many taxpayers have represented that Table 8 has no row to fill in credit of IGST paid at the time of import ofgoods but availed in the return of April 2018 to March 2019. Due to this, there are apprehensions that creditwhich was availed between April 2018 to March 2019 but not reported in the annual return may lapse. For thisparticular entry, taxpayers are advised to fill in their entire credit availed on import of goods from July 2017 toMarch 2019 in Table 6(E) of FORM GSTR-9 itself.
▪ Payments made through FORM DRC-03 for any supplies relating to period between July 2017 to March 2018will not be accounted for in FORM GSTR-9 but shall be reported during reconciliation in FORM GSTR-9C.

Last date to avail input tax credit in respect of invoices or debit notes relating to such invoices pertaining to period fromJuly, 2017 to March, 2018
CHIRAG JAIN
Press Release Dated 18th Oct 2018
▪ It is clarified that the furnishing of outward details in FORM GSTR-1 by the correspondingsupplier(s) and the facility to view the same in FORM GSTR-2A by the recipient is in the natureof taxpayer facilitation and does not impact the ability of the taxpayer to avail ITC on self-assessment basis in consonance with the provisions of section 16 of the Act. Theapprehension that ITC can be availed only on the basis of reconciliation between FORM GSTR-2A and FORM GSTR-3B conducted before the due date for filing of return in FORM GSTR-3B forthe month of September, 2018 is unfounded as the same exercise can be done thereafter also.
