New GSTR-9C offline tools are expected to be available by Dec 21, 2019

The Government made some changes to the Annual Return (GSTR-9) and Reconciliation Statement (GSTR-9C) vide Notification No. 56/2019 dated 14 November 2019.

Such changes do not affect the current tools required for filing GSTR-9 and GSTR-9A for financial Year 2017-18. Some changes are required in the offline tool and online portal for GSTR-9C which are under development and are likely to be made available by December 21, 2019.
