Quick Summary
This discussion explores the possibility of claiming refunds for late fees paid on delayed GSTR 1 and 3B filings. While some users believe it's not possible, others are confused by the 40th Council meeting's mention of nil late fees for returns filed between July 2017 and September 2020. The consensus leans towards late fees being non-refundable, causing frustration for timely taxpayers.

Not possible to claim refund.
Unfortunately this is not possible Sayali. Don't expect for Refund of Late Fees of GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B from Government. It's a complete Loss for the honest taxpayers who file their returns on time or with some Late Fees.
I can't understand the decision of 40th Council meeting where it is given that NIL late fees where returns are furnished between July 17 to Sep 20. For whom it is applicable?
