Please refer Sec 87 of the CGST. Turnover shall be reported in the original company X till the effective date of de-merger.

If the effective date is 31.03.2023.

For 9 & 9C- pls disclose turnover of demerged unit of X till 31.03.2023 in X's 9C and any transaction which occurs after said date can be disclosed in 9 & 9C of Y. Hope this clarifies.

If the effective date is 13.09.2022.

For 9 & 9C- pls disclose turnover of demerged unit of X till 13.09.2022 in X's 9C and any transaction which occurs after said date can be disclosed in 9 & 9C of Y. Hope this clarifies.
