Gst payment made but return not filed

If you've made your GST payment but haven't yet filed your GSTR1 or GSTR3B returns, you might be wondering about late filing interest. While the GSTR1 deadline for April was extended to May 26th with no late fee, the GSTR3B deadline is May 20th, where a late fee could apply. Generally, if you pay on time, interest is only levied if the return is submitted late, and even then, it's often only charged for specific turnover categories or if demanded by the department. Since the government hasn't lost revenue, you may not need to pay interest.
