A client missed filing nil GST returns from July 2020 onwards and incurred interest charges. They are enquiring if the new amnesty scheme will cover their situation, specifically regarding the late filing interest that appeared on their July 2020 return. While the scheme is understood to apply to late fees, official notifications and portal updates are still pending, and further guidance is sought.

Amnesty scheme will be applicable for late fees. At the moment notifications are yet to be issued and portal also to be updated. I suggest you wait for a few days.
