GST Officer Power for GST Late Fees

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.

Yes GST officer empowered by powers granted by chief authority shall waive off late fees after hearing genuine reasons from assessee
Late fee is calculated by system, GST officer can not do anything in this matter
