Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the penalty for filing GST 3B returns late, particularly when claiming Input Tax Credit (ITC) for past months without sales. The penalty structure depends on whether the return has a tax liability (Rs 50 per day) or is a nil return (Rs 20 per day). It's important to note that the GST system automatically calculates and pre-fills these late fees, so manual calculation isn't required.

Late fees is being calculated automatically. It will be better for you to file returns correctly.
Late Fees Structure U/s 47 of the CGST Act 2017 for late filing in FORM GSTR-3B :

1). For Tax Liability Return = Rs. 50 per day ( Rs. 25 under CGST Act + Rs. 25 under SGST Act ).

2). For Nil Return = Rs. 20 per day ( Rs. 10 under CGST Act + Rs. 10 under SGST Act ).

However note that the late fees is auto calculated by the system itself. You are not required to calculate it separately and disclose it in your GSTR-3B. It fill be prefilled by the GSTN System.
