Hi Professionals, My query is-

Is GST Officer has power to waive off GST late fees?
If yes, then what will be the procedure? Should I prepare a letter with genuine reason & request to the officer?

Quick Summary

This discussion explores whether GST officers have the authority to waive late fees. While initially suggested that officers can waive fees upon hearing genuine reasons, a later point clarifies that late fees are system-generated and officers cannot directly alter them. Therefore, direct waiver by an officer is not possible under the current system.
