Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the late fees applicable for filing GSTR-3B for the periods February to June 2020. The standard late fee is Rs. 50 per day for returns with tax liability and Rs. 20 per day for nil returns, with a maximum cap of Rs. 5,000 per return per month. The GST Amnesty Scheme, which offered a reduced rate of Rs. 500 per month, ended on 30th September 2020, meaning these standard rates now apply. The general due date for GSTR-3B is the 20th of the following month, with extensions to the 22nd or 24th for small taxpayers in specific states.

please see the late fees chart for applicability.

The Late Fees shall be be Rs. 50 per day ( Rs. 25 under CGST + Rs. 25 under SGST ), incase of "Liability Return" and in case of "NIL RETURN" it will be Rs. 20 per day ( Rs. 10 under CGST + Rs. 10 under SGST ). However the Maximum Late Fees that can be charged per return per month is Rs. 5,000/-

The GST Amnesty Scheme ended on 30th September, 2020. So you cannot avail the benefit of Rs. 500 per Return per month.

The due date to file FORM GSTR-3B is 20th of the following month. Incase of Small Taxpayers ( having aggregate turnover upto Rs. 5 crores ), the due date is 22nd and 24th of the following month for Category I and Category II States respectively.

Right now GST amnesty scheme is over on 30th September ..so now normal late fees at 50 or 10 (in case of nil return) will be applicable .

If Nil Return - 20 per day
If Transactions - Rs. 50 per day

Maximum late fees 10000 per return per month under CGST Act - 5000 and SGST Act - 5000
