Overview
What GSTR-9C is
GSTR-9C is a reconciliation statement between your audited annual financial statements and your filed GSTR-9.
It applies to taxpayers with aggregate turnover above Rs 5 crore in a financial year, per GSTIN.
Under the current rules, GSTR-9C is self-certified - no CA certification is required, though the reconciliation work remains just as rigorous.
It is due by 31 December following the financial year, alongside GSTR-9.

What is a CIN?
Every Private Limited Company gets a unique 21-character Corporate Identification Number from the MCA. It's proof your company legally exists. You'll need it for bank accounts, tax filings, and contracts. We handle the entire application — you just provide the documents above.
Not sure if your documents are ready?
Send us what you have. A ComplyKart expert will review them for free and tell you exactly what's missing — no obligation.
Get Free Document ReviewQuestions Founders ask us about documents
What if my address proof is old?
Utility bills and bank statements must be less than 2 months old. If yours are older, get a fresh copy — the MCA rejects stale proofs.
Do I need original documents?
No. Clear scans or photos work for the entire process. We never ask you to courier originals.
What if directors live in different cities?
That's normal. Each director uploads their own documents separately. Our system keeps everything organised.
I'm outside India. Can I still register a company?
Yes. India allows 100% foreign ownership in most sectors, and the entire process happens online. You need one Indian resident director, and your passport + address proof must be apostilled — we'll guide you through both. NRI founders and foreign investors do this with us regularly.
Check if you're eligible →How long does registration actually take?
7 to 10 working days from the day your documents are verified. Name approval takes 2-3 days, MCA incorporation another 5-7. We track every stage and update you.
Can I start if I'm missing one document?
Yes. Start now with what you have — we begin name reservation and DSC while you arrange the rest. Most founders are missing one proof; it rarely blocks the timeline.

Step 1 of 5
1. Check applicability — above ₹5 crore, self-certified, due 31st December
GSTR-9C is a reconciliation statement between the audited financials and GSTR-9, mandatory for taxpayers with aggregate turnover above ₹5 crore. It is self-certified by the taxpayer and filed along with GSTR-9, due 31st December.
2. Complete the statutory audit
Finalize the statutory audit first; GSTR-9C reconciles audited figures with the annual return, so the audit must be complete.
3. Build the reconciliation
Prepare the reconciliation tables: turnover, ITC, and tax paid per books vs per GSTR-9, with reasons for every difference.
4. Certify, pay differences, and file — typically 7–15 working days
Certify and upload GSTR-9C with GSTR-9 on the portal, paying any differential tax via DRC-03. Preparation typically takes 7–15 working days after the audit is done.
5. Keep the backup — you own the certification
Retain the full reconciliation workings behind the self-certification. Since no external auditor signs GSTR-9C anymore, the taxpayer owns every figure in it — keep the backup that proves them.

Showing 8 of 8 answers
Aggregate turnover above Rs 5 crore in the financial year. Below that, GSTR-9 alone is enough.
No. Since the rule change, GSTR-9C is self-certified - your company certifies it. The reconciliation work itself still needs to be rigorous.
31 December following the financial year - the same deadline as GSTR-9, and both are usually filed together.
The same late fee structure as GSTR-9 applies. File on time; the fees for a Rs 5 crore+ business add up fast.
Yes - one per GSTIN. If you operate in five states, that's five GSTR-9Cs. We handle multi-state filings as one engagement.
It is a reconciliation, not a tax computation - but differences found during reconciliation may mean additional tax is due. We flag those before filing so nothing is a surprise.
Turnover is computed per GSTIN, not at the PAN level. We check each registration's turnover separately.
Absolutely. The form demands audited figures, rate-wise breakups, and ITC reconciliation - and it must tie to GSTR-9 exactly. This is professional work, not a data-entry job.
Nothing matches that search. Try a shorter word, or choose “All questions”.
