For returns like GSTR-4 and GST CMP-08, the late fee is Rs 200 per day (Rs 100 CGST + Rs 100 SGST), capped at a maximum of Rs 5,000 per return. It's noted that certain reduced penalty notifications may only apply to GSTR-3B filings.

As per section 47 of CGST Act,2017 ,late fees is Rs 100 (CGST) and Rs 100 (SGST) i.e Total Rs 200 per day but subject to maximum Rs 5,000

Scetion 39 of CGST Act,2017 covers return of composite dealers (i.e GSTR-4 and GST CMP-08)
