However, Chartered Accountants highlight that as on date GSTR-9 form is not yet enabled leaving very little time to complete the filing process. Chartered Accountant Deep Koradia said on X: "Dear @GST_Council. It's already 4 months since end of the month but GST Annual returns are not live on portal, majorly due to exemption tables are not cleared by the council. Please do it in upcoming council meeting (it's 2 min agenda for you guys but a Tax payer can do the compliance on time, if it's announced in time). Dear @Infosys_GSTN, do share the yearly summary PDF of 3B, G1 outside the tab of GSTR 9, so that Tax payer can start reconciling books with returns!"
