Yes can apply for refund of excess payment.
Thank you so much.
Refund of Late Fees is not at all possible. Don't expect it from the Government. It's a complete loss for the honest taxpayers.
No, you can't get the late fee paid. Honest tax payers are always punished.
@ Ramaraju G Sir,

Yes you will get Refund of Excess Late Fees paid over and above the limit prescribed vide Notification No. 57/2020 - Central Tax, dated 30th June 2020.

Few hours ago GST TECH @ Infosys_GSTN twitted the following :

"The change in Late Fee amount made vide Notification No. 57/2020 - Central Tax, dated 30-06-2020 has been incorporated on the GST portal. Late fees paid in excess than prescribed in the notification shall be "re-credited" in due course.

Hence this problem has been clarified. You will get Refund of Late Fees.

Ignore my previous comment...🙏

Regards,
Shivam RC.
