Missing the GSTR-9 due date triggers a daily late fee that adds up fast. Knowing the deadline and late-fee structure keeps your annual return penalty-free.
The statutory deadline
GSTR-9 is generally due by 31 December following the financial year, unless extended by notification.
How the late fee works
A per-day late fee applies under both CGST and SGST until the return is filed, capped by turnover slabs. This is central to GSTR-9 due date and late fee and how the rule plays out in practice.
Staying compliant
File early once reconciliation is complete rather than waiting for the deadline rush.
