  • Companies that supply SEZs with goods and services.

  • Manufacturers, traders, and eateries (not include service providers, with the exception of restaurant services).

3. Submitting the FY 2024–2025 Annual GST Return (GSTR-9)


GSTR-9: What is it?

The yearly return that offers a comprehensive overview of all GST transactions for the fiscal year is called GSTR-9.

Requirement for Compliance

Regular taxpayers have till December 31, 2025, to file their GSTR-9. Nonetheless, it is recommended that all reconciliations be finished by March 31, 2025.

GSTR-9C (Reconciliation Statement & Certification) must also be filed if appropriate.

Who Must Submit a File?

  • Companies with a total revenue of more than ₹2 crores.
  • Companies that generate more than ₹5 crores in revenue must have their GSTR-9C audited.

4. Issuing FY 2024–2025 Credit and Debit Notes


What Makes It Important?

Tax obligations are adjusted for returns, price reductions, or incorrect invoicing using credit and debit notes.

Requirement for Compliance

Make sure that by March 31, 2025, all credit and debit notes for FY 2024–2025 are issued.

Before the deadline, these changes must be recorded in GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B.

Describe e-invoicing.

Businesses with annual revenue exceeding ₹5 crore are required to use e-invoicing, which entails creating invoices using the Invoice Registration Portal (IRP).

Requirement for Compliance

Companies with annual revenue over ₹5 crore are required to generate authentic IRNs (Invoice Reference Numbers) in order to assure e-invoicing compliance.

Penalties and ineligibility for ITC claims may result from noncompliance.

6. GST Data Reconciliation with Books of Accounts


What Makes Reconciliation Vital?

Reconciliation guarantees that there are no discrepancies among:

  • GSTR-1 (sales data) and GSTR-3B.
  • Purchase registrations (ITC claims) and GSTR-2B.
  • Financial statements and GST returns.

Requirement for Compliance

For businesses to avoid receiving notifications or fines from the GST administration, their books of accounts and GST data must match.

Any inconsistencies must to be fixed prior to submitting the yearly return (GSTR-9).

7. Fulfilling any outstanding GST obligations


What Makes This Significant?

  • Interest on late payments is 18% annually.
  • Penalties for failure to pay.

Requirement for Compliance

Make sure that all GST obligations are paid off by March 31, 2025.

If you have any additional tax obligations, pay them using Form DRC-03.

8. Reversal of ITC for Failure to Pay Suppliers


What is Reversal of ITC?

If suppliers are not paid within 180 days, the Input Tax Credit (ITC) will be refunded in accordance with Rule 37 of the CGST Rules.

Requirement for Compliance

Examine any outstanding supplier payments by March 31, 2025.

Reverse the ITC under GSTR-3B.9 if invoices are not paid within 180 days.
