  1. Late fees should be waived due to this a small business man has not interest to carryon his business and he wants to start his business without GST registration. so I suggest it that if late fees waived off for filing gst return tax may collect by a businessman smoothly.

  2. I have failed to file since April 2020 till date as the CA who was doing all these procedures, expired on August 2020. Then he (son) promised me that he will clear all the matters. But after some days, he told me that my GST No. has been cancelled due to late submission. He was trying to get revocation, but somehow may be due to his unawareness it does not happen. Afterwards, I have approached another CA and he was helping to clear, but till now the Late fee is increased up to 85000. Mine is a single person handling business with less than 3 lac profit a year. I have only one option to close the business now if not getting any waiver. Any suggestion?
