Quick Summary
This discussion explores the possibility of a waiver for GST late filing fees. While the author believes a waiver is unlikely, they acknowledge it would benefit taxpayers. It's clarified that the Assessing Officer (AO) cannot waive these fees, as they are mandated by law. Any waiver would require a notification from the CBIC (Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs).

As per my view NO...

May be govt can give the waiver then it's good to taxpayers.
Waiver of late fee is not within power of AO .
It is backed by section itself and waiver can be possible by way of notification by CBIC
