Vide Notification Nos. 43 and 44/2018 – Central Tax dated 10th September, 2018, the last dates for filing GSTR1, for the period July 2017 - Sep 2018, was extended to 31st Oct 2018.

The press release above also mentions a one time Late fee waiver.

Does that mean that all Late fees paid earlier by Registered Persons for any late filed GSTR1 will be refunded back to Electronic Cash Ledger?
