Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies Notification No 19/2021 concerning late fees for nil returns. The notification states that late fees exceeding Rs 500 are waived if returns are filed between 1st June 2021 and 31st August 2021. However, it's crucial to note that the amnesty scheme applies to tax periods from July 2017 to April 2021, provided these returns are filed within the specified window. Filing returns for periods outside this range, or filing within the window but for periods before July 2017, will not qualify for the waiver.

GSTR-3B show late fee of last month and your last month return was filed before 01.06.21, hence amnesty scheme not available.
Than in which case amnesty scheme is available ??

Return that are filed from 01.06.2021 to 31.08.2021.

As per notification the relaxation period is July 2017 to April 2021.
Amnesty available for Return for the period July 2017 to April 2021, but same is required to be filed during the limitation period of 01.06.21 to 31.08.21 to avail benefit of amnesty scheme.

For example if you file return for Jan 2020 on 20 Feb 21 then no amnesty available as return not filed b/w 01.6.21 to 31.08.21
But I filing Sep 20 return in July 21. Can I avail the benifit of amnesty scheme ??
