Analysis
GSTR-9 must be filed first, then GSTR-9C is enabled. Remember Sec 16(4): ITC of the year must be claimed by 30 November or the annual return date, whichever is earlier, so filing GSTR-9 early closes the ITC window. Plan to claim all ITC by November and file both forms in December.
Close
- Finish ITC claims in GSTR-3B by 30 November.
- Close books and reconcile by early December.
- File GSTR-9.
