GSTR-9C reconciliation statement

What this means, checked by a CA

If your turnover is above ₹5 crore, you also file GSTR-9C, a statement that ties your audited accounts to your GSTR-9. We reconcile turnover, tax and input tax credit, explain every difference, pay any short tax before filing, and file it self-certified by 31 December.
