Quick Summary
A user is seeking advice for a friend who registered for GST three years ago but never filed returns, now facing a significant penalty. While initially advised that penalties are mandatory, it was clarified that the issue involves pending late fees, not a paid penalty. The discussion points towards the GST amnesty scheme as a potential solution for relief, especially since the friend had also applied for registration cancellation in the past and conducted no actual business.

There will be no relief.. penalty should be paid mandatorily
Thats what I am also thinking,
Anyways, Thanks for your comment.
Govt declared an Amnesty schedule for this purpose unde gst.
Thanks for your reply, I have already seen that amnesty schedule...
What about the business?
If no business did, No chance for Penalty.

It may be the late filing fees.

It's have been file with minimum fees up to 30th August 2021.

Better you approach the concerned GST office.
Your welcome
If any data's available before the assessing officer against u ,beside u not filed any request for cancellation of registration till date.
This is not my case,
It is one of my friend case, and he did not do any kind of business till now.
And ealier in 2019 he also requested for cancellation of Registration..And yes its late filling fees, which is I think more than 2 lakh rupees..

Now I think amnesty schedule is applicable to him.

Thanks to All..

Paid late fee -cannot be reimbursed.

It is pending late fees, not paid amount..

Then, relief is eligible.

Late fees may be relieved by amnesty scheme
