FAQ :

The notification aims to provide relief by lowering the interest rate on late GST payments for tax periods from February 2020 to July 2020.

Eligibility for reduced interest rates depends on the taxpayer's aggregate turnover in the preceding financial year and their principal place of business.

For taxpayers with turnover over 5 crores, the interest rate is nil for the first 15 days from the due date, and 9% thereafter until 24th June 2020, for tax periods February to April 2020.

Deadlines vary by state and month. For example, taxpayers in certain southern states with turnover up to 5 crores have nil interest until 30th June 2020 for February 2020, and 9% thereafter until 30th September 2020.

This notification specifically addresses interest rates for tax periods from February 2020 to July 2020. It does not specify rates for periods after July 2020.
