Turnover of the entity in FY-2018-19 was nil but in FY-2019-20 is Rs.14 crore. I just want to know the interest rate on GST liability of March 2020 if paid before June end. And from which date interest will be calculated?
Thanks in advance

Quick Summary
If your business had nil turnover in FY 2018-19 but Rs. 14 crore in FY 2019-20, you may be wondering about GST interest for March 2020. For taxpayers with preceding FY turnover below ₹5 crore, the interest rate on the March 2020 GSTR 3B is nil, as per Notification 31/2020 CT. This applies even if paid after the initial 15-day window, provided it's before June 30th.
NIL Rate of interest if March 2020 return is filed within 15 days after 20 April. 9% interest if interest if return is filed after 15 days but before 30 June 2020. In this case, interest will be calculated from 16th day. Interest for first 15 days will be NIL.
