Quick Summary
A client has received a notice for interest payment due to delayed GSTR-3B filing under Section 50(1) of the CGST Act. The query concerns potential relaxations for interest payments, particularly for periods affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, given varying turnover figures across financial years. The user is seeking clarification on whether the relaxations offered during the pandemic applied to interest charges as well as late fees.

There were relaxations in filing of GST returns during covid period and I have seen the department ignoring the extended periods while issuing notices. You will have to see for each month to what extent benefit was available and reply accordingly

Thank you for replying. Kindly inform that those relaxation for late fees only or applicable to interest also.
