was 1.25 Crore and in Delhi his turnover was 1.5 Crore. Whether Mr A is liable for GST Audit in

registered under GST in FY 2017-18 hence GST Audit is not applicable. As per my opinion GST

exchange rate (Rs/$) on the date of filing Shipping Bill are

• RBI Rate: Rs 68
•At the time of receipt of money bank has exchanged foreign currency at Rs 70.

GST Turnover as per GST Law is Rs 65,00,000/
As per Accounting Standards, Revenue must be booked in Profit And Loss Ac as per RBI Rate for
Goods Exported. Hence Turnover as per Profit and Loss Ac is Rs 68,00,000
Hence Reconciliation of Rs 3,00,000 in GSTR 9C.
PQR received money of Rs 70,00,000 (70 * 100000) hence difference of Rs 2,00,000 (Amount
