The CBIC via Press Note issued on 01.06.2020 has assured the taxpayers that the Issue of GST LATE FEES for the past period (August 2017 to January 2020) will be discussed in the next GST Council meeting.

The 40th GST Council Meeting is scheduled to be held on the second week of June 2020 ( probably on 14th June 2020. )

Therefore wait till the 40th GST Council Meeting for the official decision.
