For any query, you can read the GSTR-9/9A FAQs available on the portal.
For the fiscal year, 2017-2018, the GSTR-9 Form (Annual Return) as well as GSTR-9A form can be filed on or before 31th January 2020 (Read Press Release) and the online utility for the same has already been started by the GST Council.
Ajay Sahai, Director General of Federation of Indian Exports Organization (FIEO) said: “We have already informed exporters that they have to be little careful while filing the GSTR 9 annual return “and called it a good start on part of the government.
He also added the total sum of monthly return must be matched with the annual return while filing the return.
“If the annual return does not match with the sum total of a monthly return, it will create a problem for exporters,” he pointed.
“If there are any errors, we request the government to give some reasonable time to the exporters to review this data,” Sahai said, requesting the government.
