Quick Summary

A recent GST meeting has led to a waiver of late fees for non-filing returns between 2017 and 2020. This discussion explores whether individuals who previously paid these late fees are eligible for a refund. While the waiver primarily applies to returns with no tax liability or reduced fees where tax was due, it's unclear if past payments can be reclaimed. Filing a writ petition is suggested as a potential avenue for recovery, though success depends on strong legal preparation.

It's not waived.. its reduced to Rs. 500 return per month where there exist a tax liability. No. late fee in cases where there is not tax liability in particular tax period. However, nothing has been mentioned regarding late fee for those who paid earlier. Strange things happens only in GST.
