Before you begin
Select the correct client, GSTIN, and financial year. Confirm that periodic returns, ledgers, and reconciliations are current. Keep the portal notice, audited financial statements, and supporting schedules available. Check that you are authorised before a notice sync or provider-credit action.
Review notices and deadlines
Open GST → Compliance and choose Inbox or Deadlines. Sync/fetch notices when authorised; detail retrieval may consume a provider credit. Open a notice and verify reference, type, period, issue/due date, status, attachments, and portal detail. Record an internal note and save it. Track the response/deadline through the approved compliance workflow.
A synced notice is not automatically resolved. Preserve the portal document and formal response evidence.
Review GSTR-9
Open GST → Annual and select GSTR-9/FY. Confirm all periodic source returns and reconciliations are current. Review annual roll-ups including GSTR-1 outward tax, GSTR-3B outward liability, and net ITC. Investigate variances and verify any audit/tax-audit analytical pack in the audit file. Prepare, review, and export the annual work under the displayed controls.
Review GSTR-9C
Open the GSTR-9C area. Review turnover/tax/ITC reconciliation and audited financial-statement linkage. Enter and Save reconciling items with evidence. Review/export the reconciliation. Do not claim portal filing unless a qualified live action and acknowledgement are shown.
Expected result
Each notice has a clear owner, deadline, evidence, and response status. Annual GST values reconcile to the reviewed periodic returns and financial statements, with every difference explained and retained for review.
