A GST Audit is a detailed review and examination of a taxpayer’s GST records to ensure that all tax filings, input tax credit claims, and payments are accurate and fully compliant with the GST law.
From FY 2020–21 onwards, the mandatory GST audit by a Chartered Accountant or Cost Accountant has been removed having turnover more than ₹2 crore in a financial year.
There are mainly three types:
Different sectors face unique GST challenges. We help analyze GST impact for industries like real estate, e-commerce, and exports to ensure compliance and profitability.
A departmental GST audit must be completed within 3 months from the date of commencement (extendable to 6 months).
Startup Movers assists in preparing for this timeline and responding effectively.
To prepare for a GST audit, ensure all GST returns are filed correctly, books of accounts are updated, and invoices, ITC records, and reconciliations (like GSTR-3B vs GSTR-1 and GSTR-2A/2B) are in order.
Keep all supporting documents ready for verification.
If the GST auditor finds discrepancies, the business may face:
Startup Movers helps address these with expert representation and corrections.
No, GST audit is not mandatory for all businesses. While the turnover-based audit requirement (for businesses having turnover above ₹2 crore) was withdrawn, departmental audits under Section 65 and special audits under Section 66 can still be initiated for any registered taxpayer if discrepancies are found.
However, Self-Certification by the taxpayer in Form GSTR-9C is mandatory for businesses having turnover greater than ₹5 crore.
That’s why many businesses opt for voluntary internal control reviews to stay compliant and audit-ready.
