27 March 2025 One of my client has not filed his CMP 08 since April,2022. Now he wants to file entire CMP 08. Whether filing annual return is mandatory ? If yes, what will be the late fee payable sir ?

27 March 2025 Failure to file CMP-08 within the due date attracts late fees. The late fee is ₹200 per day (₹100 under CGST and ₹100 under SGST/UTGST), subject to a maximum of ₹5,000 per return.

Filing GSTR-4 is mandatory for taxpayers under the Composition Scheme, even if CMP-08 has not been filed.
The late fee for GSTR-4 is ₹200 per day (₹100 under CGST and ₹100 under SGST/UTGST), subject to a maximum of ₹5,000. However, if there is no tax liability then the late fee is 500 rupees total. 250 rupees for CGST and 250 rupees for SGST.
