How To Avoid JSON Errors In GSTR-9C Filing?

Additionally, the user should retain all folder files, including the WS Web file, in one folder while downloading/unzipping GSTR-9C. The following details should be submitted in GSTR-9C and GSTR-9, respectively. Otherwise, it can result in an error:
-
Turnover
-

Taxpayers have trouble uploading their balance sheet and profit and loss statement when submitting GSTR-9C. The office firewall prevents downloading such data since the files contain keywords like balance sheet, profit and loss account, etc., which are often classified as sensitive information.
To correctly upload the files, taxpayers should use an open network like the internet. The CA must enter "Nil" in Part-B of GSTR-9C even if there is no qualification. Even after being attached to the system, the Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) occasionally fails to display.
The DSC owner must enter "https://127.0.0.1:1585" in the browser address bar and click "Proceed to safety" to make the DSC accessible. On occasion, taxpayers are unable to use emsigner to sign the GSTR-9C. The taxpayers should close all other editors, download them from the GST portal, and then select the "Run as administrator" option to avoid this problem.
