Quick Summary
This discussion addresses confusion regarding GSTR 3B late fees after Notification 57/2020. While the notification waives late fees exceeding £250, some users are seeing higher amounts on the GST portal. The consensus suggests that the higher fee displayed might relate to a previous late filing, which wasn't covered by the waiver at that time. Once this prior fee is settled, subsequent late fees should adhere to the new waiver rules.
As per my thinking, if you filed last GSTR 3b late , than late fee of that return is auto reflected in current month GSTR 3b.(kindly check this in your case)
As in current month GSTR 3b late fee reflected is relating to last month's late filing, which was not waived at that time. So, you have to pay that late fee, and from next month it will be charged as per Notification. 57/2020 i.e. ..Nil or restricted to 500/-
