Quick Summary
If you've paid late fees for GST returns in March, April, or May and believe you've paid more than the maximum limit of £500 per month, you may be eligible for a refund. Recent updates from GSTN indicate that excess late fees paid will be re-credited to taxpayers. This clarification suggests that claims for refunds of excess late fees are possible.

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...🙏

Shivam RC.
