I am writing to seek clarification on the penalty and interest rate applicable in case a party fails to make GST payments within the due date. Specifically, I would like to know:

1. If a party fails to pay GST within 180 days, what is the penalty that will be levied by the GST department?
2. If the payment is delayed for more than 2 years, what is the interest rate and penalty rate that will be applicable?

I would appreciate it if you could provide me with a detailed response at the earliest.

Please clarify the relevant sections of the GST Act and rules that apply to this scenario.

We have rented out a portion to commercial activity who was registered under GST and we used to raise tax invoice for the rental income which was uploaded every month in our GSTR1. But now his GST Number is cancelled (tenant is not telling the reason for the same) When we are trying to upload our rental invoice in GSTR1, Error is showing. Can we show that invoice under B2C/ how can we show that invoice in our GSTR1?

Dear Sir/Madam,

Please assist under business auxiliary services.

We have taken the consolidated marine insurance policy in our name "to cover the risk of loss of cargo/high value shipments" of our clients (consignee/importer).

e.g.
Premium paid to Insurance Company by us on behalf of 'actual clients'.
If any claim during the shipment imports from place of outside of India, it will be settled to beneficiary/clients account directly.
We are providing the additional service to our client to secure the import of goods in Transit.

After successful delivery of the goods, we raise our bill to recipient as Re-imbursement of marine insurance premium paid without addition of margin.

In this matter is there any GST or RCM applicable or not?

Waiting for your reply.

Dear Experts
My client has only RENT INCOME under GST. Now, They are taken some ITC against stationery expenses and BSNL telephone expense. It's correct ??

I had cancel my clients GST registration in June 2022. But now my client received notice for non filing Form GSTR-4 (Annual).

Is there any penalty / late fees for failure to file Annual return.

ITC which we are not claiming in GSTR3B i.e ineligible ITC, is it neccessary to show seperate in GSTR3B and GSTR9 because some figures auto populate from GTSTR2B in ineligible ITC Coloumn and some are not.

For Example-ITC on insurance of personal vehicle which is registered in company name is ineligible and that ITC which auto populate from GSTR2B comes in "others'' coloumn not in ineligible ITC coloumn.

So if we neither show this ITC in ''others'' coloumn nor in ''ineligible itc'' coloumn, will it make any difference?

Dear Experts,
