Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the potential late fees and penalties associated with failing to file GSTR-9C. While a general penalty of up to ₹50,000 can be levied under CGST and SGST, it's rarely invoked and at the Commissioner's discretion. Importantly, the Madras High Court has ruled that both late fees and penalties cannot be levied simultaneously.

If a taxpayer fails to file GSTR-9C, the department may levy general penalty under Section 125:

  • Up to ₹25,000 under CGST + ₹25,000 under SGST = ₹50,000

Though rarely invoked, it's at the Commissioner’s discretion.

Both late fee and penalty can not be levied as per decision taken in the HONBLE MADRAS HIGH COURT
