As per information gathered by me,
Rs. 100 late fee is as per CGST Act. SGST Acts also prescribe Rs. 100 per day. Therefore total late fee of Rs.200 per day is to be paid.
However, as per Section 128, the Government has waived the late fee payable for some GSTRs.
FOR GSTR-1: As per Notification No. 4/2018 – Central Tax dated 23rd January, 2018,
Late Fees is Rs 25 (CGST) + Rs 25 (SGST) = Rs 50 Per Day
In many cases GST Department is not charging Late Fee for GSTR-1. But now I have observed that many clients are now receiving notices for pending GSTR-1 Late Fees.
As per my knowledge, GSTR-1 Late Fees can be paid at the time of GSTR-3B, OR at later stage whenever demanded by GST Department via Notice. (I am not an Expert)
