Quick Summary
A client registered for GST in 2018 has not filed any returns and now wishes to cancel their registration. The tax department requires all pending returns to be filed before cancellation. The portal is showing a significant late fee of Rs 19,000 for the first quarter of FY 2018-19, which seems unusually high compared to the typical monthly maximum liability.

Taxpayer can cancel GST registration only when they file all returns till date. And at the time of filing returns, the portal will sure ask for late fees

Thanks for the reply. You know what, portal is showing Rs 19000 as late fees for the Q1 of FY 2018-19 only!!!

it can be... maximum liability for a month if GTSR-3B is not filed is 10k
