Changes in GSTR 9, 9A & 9C
Changes Recommended
Earlier Scenario
DAA Comments
1
Form GSTR 9 & 9A to cover all the supplies made during the year
Earlier Form GSTR 9 & 9A covered only the supplies disclosed in the returns filed during the year.
Outward supplies should capture all supplies even if not declared earlier in the return
2
HSN code may be declared for the inward supplies amounting to 10% or more of Total value of Inward supplies.
HSN wise summary of all Inward supplies was mandatorily to be disclosed in Form GSTR-9
Assessees need not provide HSN wise summary for all inward supplies. Reduces a significant burden on the industry.
4
Additional tax payments arising due to audit findings, can only be paid in Cash through Form GST DRC-03.
It was understood that the payments must be made through GSTR 3B.
Payment for any additional tax liability shall be made through Form GST DRC – 03
5
Failure to avail Input tax credits within the time limit, cannot be done through Form GSTR-9 & GSTR-9C
Credit cannot be availed through GSTR 9 & GSTR 9C
Credit can be availed only through GSTR 3B filed till the month of March 2019.
6
Invoices pertaining to previous FY would be auto populated in Form GSTR-9 as “ITC available as per GSTR-2A” irrespective of the month in which the invoice is declared in Form GSTR-1 by the vendor.
Only the Invoices declared in Form GSTR-1 during the previous FY would be reflected in Form GSTR-9 & not the invoices declared after the FY.
This would be the logical manner of reconciliation.

Solar Industry – Due to the recent ARA rulings there was confusion brewing among the industry with respect to the taxability of solar projects.
To resolve the dispute the Council has recommended that in all such cases, the 70% of the gross value shall be deemed as the value of supply of said goods attracting 5% rate and the remaining portion (30%) of the aggregate value of such EPC contract shall be deemed as the value of supply of taxable service attracting standard GST rate.
