Late fee waiver is there till Sept 30, 2020. what you see is what which was there on the portal earlier. you have to pay that amount as it is saved. there after you can file the rest of returns without late fee or capped fee.

Yes, Late fee waiver is there till 30th September, 2020. This 10,000 is relating to late fee of last month..
Check that last month's return filed late or not ?
You have to pay this fee and than after you can proceed further for all other return with NIL/Rs. 500 fee.

I added the amount in July that time it was showing 250 late fees for each, I didn't submitted then. But now, it is showing 5,000 each.

Yes, last month's return is filed.

In GST Late filing fee of one month is levied in next month, not in same month.
Suppose you file May, 2019 return late , than late fee of same levied in June ,2019 return.

I think you filed May, 2019 return before this waiver of fee and also after original due date (i.e late) ...check the filing date of May, 2019 Return.

how does it matters? the return is under the period for which waiver is provided. It should be 250 each only.

Also, when I tried to check returns of next few months. No late fees is appearing at all. Infosys is not replying at all.

From June 2019 you are filing under waiver...

May, 2019 you filed before waiver...and also late
So, you have to pay late fee for May, 2019..which you not paid earlier

I hope you understand this machanism of late fee
i.e "In GST, Late filing fee of one month is levied in next month, not in same month"
