GST Auditors! Don't Miss These Checkpoints While Filing GSTR 9C

GSTR 9C is an annual reconciliation statement to be filed by every registered person whose aggregate turnover for a financial year exceeds Rupees 2 crores (Section 35(5) read with Rule 80).
The due date for GSTR 9C for FY 2017-18 is 30th November, 2019 which has been constantly revised due to the complexities of the form.
In this article, let us understand certain GSTR 9C check points in detail with examples that will assist in simplifying GSTR 9C. However, one must understand that GSTR 9C is only a reconciliation statement of amounts and figures disclosed in the books of accounts.
1. Applicability of GSTR 9C - 
As mentioned above, GSTR 9C is applicable to those registered persons whose aggregate annual turnover exceeds INR 2 crores. Aggregate turnover is the aggregate value of all taxable values, exempt supplies, export of goods or services or both, inter-state supplies of the person having the same PAN (on all India basis), but excludes inward supplies liable to reverse charge, central tax, State tax, Union territory tax, integrated tax and cess.
It is critical to determine applicability of GSTR 9C. Any error may result in non-compliance of the same.
Note - For FY17-18, to determine aggregate turnover, period to be considered is July 2017 to March 2018.
Example 1 - 
ABC Ltd is having the following mentioned turnover in FY 2017-18.

2. Classification of turnover in Table 5 - 
Table 5 requires reconciliation of turnover as per audited financial statements with that declared as per GSTR 9. There are certain incomes that form part of financial statements but are not reported in GST. One must be careful while classifying and reconciling income under various heads as required under GSTR 9C.

4. Unbilled Revenue - 
There are certain incomes which have been recognised as income in the books of accounts on accrual basis but not reflected in GST. Such income is known as unbilled revenue.
For FY 2017-18, one has to be careful while reporting under this section as total unbilled revenue as on 01st April 2017 is not to be considered as an adjustment is required for invoices booked during the period April 2017 to June 2017. Thus, unbilled revenue as at 30th June 2017 is to be considered.
Example 10 - 
A Ltd has reported unbilled revenue as at 01st April 2017 - Rs 10 Lakhs
During April 2017 to Jun 2017 invoice issued against such unbilled revenue- Rs 3 Lakhs
Unbilled revenue at the beginning of the year to be reported in Table 5B - Rs 7 Lakhs (10 minus 3)
5. Deemed Supply under Schedule I - 
Under Schedule I certain supply have been treated as deemed supply even if no consideration has been on such supplies. Supplies covered under Schedule I are as follows -
a. Supplies made to related parties
b. Supply of goods via Agent
c. Permanent transfer or disposal of asset where no consideration has been received but input tax credit was availed̢۪
Such supplies are to be reported in Table 5D and may not be added in Table 5A.

Auditor may come across such instances where excess credit has been in GSTR 3B but the same has not been booked in books of accounts, ineligible credit has been availed or reversals required have not been made as per Rules. In such cases, the auditor may show this amount as additional liability payable.
However, any input tax credit not availed till the specified time limit shall lapse i.e. for FY17-18, input tax credit could have been claimed upto filing of March 2019 return.
