HI ALL,

GSTR 1 AND 3B FILING FOR DEC 2020 for a client was filed on 30TH JAN 2021, DUE TO DELAY IN REVOCATION OF CANCELLATION APPROVAL and a grivance WAS FILED FOR CLAIMING ITC issue and it took some time to receive the resolution after which, the gstr was filed on 30 th jan.

Now, the late fees for that time gap (23nd jan-30th jan) is now claimed during filing the jan gstr3b.

now, if the above reasons are raised as a grievance , is there any possibility to waive off the late fees for the client.

pls clarify.tnx

Quick Summary

This discussion explores the possibility of waiving late fees for GST filings in specific circumstances. The user encountered delays in filing GSTR 1 and 3B for December 2020 due to a prolonged revocation of cancellation approval and issues with claiming ITC. Despite these valid reasons, the tax authority is currently claiming late fees for the period between the original due date and the actual filing date. The core question is whether these late fees can be waived by raising a grievance.
