Understanding GSTR-9 Applicability for Small Businesses in India
The government has permanently exempted businesses with turnover up to 2 Crores from filing GSTR-9. The move aims to reduce compliance burden while ensuring monthly and quarterly GST filings continue.
GSTR-9 Applicability: A Simple Guide for Small Businesses
Filing GST annual returns can feel overwhelming, but the government has made life easier for small taxpayers. If your yearly turnover is up to ₹2 Crores, you don’t need to worry much about GSTR-9 anymore.

What This Means for You
- ₹2 Crore Limit: If your turnover is below this, GSTR-9 is not required.
- Optional vs. Exempted: Before 2020, filing was optional. From 2020 onwards, it became a full exemption.
- Permanent Relief: From FY 2024-25, small taxpayers are permanently exempt.
Why the Change?
To make business easier. Less paperwork means more time to focus on growth.
Important Notice
Even if exempt from GSTR-9, you must still file mandatory monthly or quarterly GST returns:
- GSTR-1
- GSTR-3B
Final Takeaway
If your business turnover is up to ₹2 Crores, you now have a permanent exemption from filing GSTR-9. This move helps simplify GST compliance and supports small business operations across India.
