The Excel-based GSTR-9 Offline Tool helps taxpayers prepare their GSTR-9 return offline. The tool allows taxpayers to fill in data for various tables in the GSTR-9 return, such as details of outward and inward supplies, ITC availed, tax paid, and demand/refunds. It is not mandatory to fill in all worksheets; empty worksheets can be left blank. Key features include the ability to open a downloaded GSTR-9 JSON file from the GST portal, validate entered data, and generate a JSON file for uploading to the GST portal. Taxpayers can also handle errors by opening the “processed with error” files and making corrections in the Offline Tool. After validation and correction, the user can generate a JSON file for upload, which is then processed by the GST portal. The tool simplifies the process of filling GSTR-9 by automating certain data imports and allowing easy updates, ensuring a smoother filing experience.
