Save Share

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

The government has waived late filing fees for GSTR 3B returns submitted between July 2017 and September 2018, provided they were filed after December 22, 2018, and before March 31, 2019. Currently, there is no established procedure for claiming refunds of late fees already paid. While representations have been made to the government, no refunds are payable as of now, and the department has not yet finalised a process.

20 February 2020 Late filing fee is waived off for all returns from July 2017 to September 2018. (i.e GSTR 3B) However this benefit is available to only those filing returns from 22/12/2018 and this waiver is applicable till 31/03/2019.
