The GST returns for the period February 2020 to July 2020 to be filed on or before the 30/09/2020 in order to avail the benefit of late fees reduction up to maximus of RS. 500. If the returns filed beyond 30/09/2020, the full late fees would be liable. Further, the notification no.52/2020 provides relaxation in late fee for the July 2017-January 2020 GSTR-3B, if the said returns are filed between 01/07/2020 to 30/09/2020

Refresh the page or try to file it after few days. If even after that the portal shows late fees, then contact GST Help desk...

@ Mr. Nitish ji
As per my thinking, if you filed last GSTR 3b late , than late fee of that return is auto reflected in current month GSTR 3b.(kindly check this in your case that, is that penalty is related to last return late filed?)

As in current month GSTR 3b late fee reflected is relating to last month's late filing, which was not waived at that time.

So, you have to pay that late fee, and from next month it will be charged as per Notification. 57/2020 i.e. ..Nil or restricted to 500/-.
