Late fee on GSTR3b for the month September 2017-8

This discussion clarifies the late fee structure for GSTR 3B returns, specifically for the September 2017-18 period and subsequent months. It explains that a NIL return filed before 30th September 2020 incurs no late fee, while other returns are charged Rs. 500 per month. The advice confirms that even if you have input tax credit (ITC) to claim, it's not considered a NIL return, and the Rs. 500 fee applies.
