Interest on Late Payment of GST

According to the GST Penalty regulations, interest will be charged at the rate of 18 percent per annum from the taxpayers who fail to pay their taxes on time. The interest will be levied for the days after the due date.

Check the example below to understand it better: Suppose your tax liability is Rs. 2,000 and you have not paid tax on time for a given month. Now, if you pay tax after one day from the due date, your interest will be calculated as 2000*18/100*1/365 = Rs. 0.98 Per day. If you delay more than that, you’ll have to pay an interest of the same amount per day. Check out the document attached below (chapter 10, point 50) for more details.

    General Queries on GST Payment

    Q.1 – What do you mean by the GST late fee and interest rate?

    In context to the late fees, the non-payment of the late payment poses an interest. The total penalty burden surges through 18% per year as interest. An assessee is subjected to the same burden during the complete time of furnishing the taxes. The fees and the interest gets computed from the last date to the date of filing.

    Q.2 – What shall be the result if the assessee does not furnish the GST Return?

    The assessee who holds the GST enrolled number is required to furnish the GST return. If someone loses to furnish the GST return then a late fee will get imposed on the daily grounds. One shall not be enabled to furnish the ITR for the subsequent month if he or she does not or fails to furnish the GSTR for the current month. Apart from all these compliances an amount of Rs 50 shall be imposed every day as a late fee. Rs 5000 will be the highest amount that could be obtained as a late fee if the assessee losses to furnish his GST return.

    Q.3 – As a taxpayer I do not have any amount to file as a GST return, Could I furnish my GSTR?

    Yes, one is enabled to furnish the GST return. The filing is adjusted as a NIL return. There might be two cases to furnish the GSTR with no tax. In the first case, there shall have no buyings and no sale in that specific year hence no transaction is there. Thus one can furnish the NIL transaction return. In the other case, the goods and services have been purchased by you but no sale has been performed. Hence you have furnished the GST during the purchase thus you need to furnish the GSTR-3B and avail of the ITC.

    Q.4 – What is the method to compute the late fees for the GST payment?

    Rs 100 shall be imposed by CGST and Rs 100 by SGST post to the last date of furnishing of the GST return. Hence a total of Rs 200 per day shall be levied through the tax council against the taxpayer. For instance, if the assessee losses to furnish the return due on the date 15th August and do not furnish the same till 9th September then the late fees shall be computed as:

    • 25 days * 200 = INR 5000 of late fees

    Q.5 – Is there any interest imposed on the late fees with respect to the payment of GSTR?

    GST penalty laws verified that each assessee who losses the last date to furnish the taxes needs to file the interest with 18% per annum as late fees. Hence if the individual due for the GST return is Rs 2500 and he or she files it after 3 days of the last date then the interest need to pay as a late fee on the tax shall be computed as:

    • 2500*18/100*3/365 = Rs. 3.7 of interest on late fees

    The interest amount gets computed towards the duration between the actual last date of paying the tax and the date on which the return was furnished.

    Q.6 – Is it important to furnish the GST as a NIL transaction?

    If you own a GST registration number then truly it is essential for a taxpayer that he furnish the GSTR. If you pose no buyings or sale transaction then you are required to furnish the NIL GSTR. if you do not furnish the GST return, then late fees shall get imposed. Beneath the CGST act Rs 25 will be imposed as well as Rs 25 shall get charged under the SGST act on a per-day basis. On the same penalty amount, 18% interest per annum will be imposed.

    Q.7 – Can late fees on GST be avoided?

    In some of the cases, GST late fees shall get avoided but if it does not then it should be furnished prior to the furnishing of the taxes

Please help us to calculate the exact interest amt.

      1. Interest is calculated up to the date of payment. So you have to pay interest till 29/05/2019 i.e. for no. of days delayed for payment.

    40. Sir, I have registered in GST. Now my Outstanding liability for the month of Dec’2018 is Rs. 1000/-. I have an ITC balance of Rs. 500/-. I have filled GSTR-3B return on 28.02.2019 and made payment of Rs. 500 by ITC and Rs. 500 by Cash on 28.02.2019.

      So my question is as under:

      1. whether interest is payable or not?
      2. if interest payable, on what amount (i.e. on Rs. 500 or Rs. 1000)
      3. what is the calculation process of interest.

      Thank you, Sir.

      1. 1. Interest will be payable as you have not made the payment on time.
        2. Interest would be payable on gross tax liability.
        3. Interest @ 18%p.a would be charged and to be calculated on a daily basis.

      1. As payment got delayed by 1 month, you have to pay interest on yourself at the time of filing of GSTR -3B for the next month, if you didn’t pay the same, dept. will raise the demand while filing GSTR-3B for the next period.

    52. Hello Sir,

      I received my GST number in the month of July 18, but I didn’t file returns until Sept 18. So early Oct 18, I did file my return and paid a late fee of Rs 490 each for CGST and SGST for July and August 18. Now I’m trying to file returns for Sept for which due date for filing return is 20/10/2018 but still, the late fee of Rs 1100 is generated for both CGST and SGST. Is this right or I’m filing incorrectly.

      1. Rs. 1100 fees generated is for the month of July 2018 or aug, 2018 which may be not included in the return of July but late fees sometimes are carried forward in next period return. Therefore, late fees appearing in sept month return is carried forward late fees of earlier month

    53. SIR,

      We are not paying GST Amount from Nov 2017 to till now. so, now we will pay the tax amount from Nov month 2017.
      but, our question is: 1) how to calculate late fee and penalty?

      1. In case of late filing of the return late fees to be paid as Rs.20/- for CGST and Rs.20/- for SGST from the due date of filing of return till the date of filing of return subject to maximum Rs. 5000/-.

        1. Dear Sir,

          Today we are going to file the return a month of Nov 2017. The Tax amount is RS.20,490/- for CGST and RS.20,490/- SGST.

          My question is: How much the penalty of the above amount?

            1. Yes, sir,

              We paid the return Rs.5000 each for CGST and SGST.

              Our one more question is: we file the return of nov that penalty amount is eligible for 3 months?
              ** we pay the penalty of nov months and we file the return to file the month of Dec, Jan that month we are not paying penalty?

    54. I have registered for GST on Sep 2017 but due to some issues, I didn’t start my business. I didn’t file 3b also till date now what I should do now because I don’t even have any business now.

    55. Sir, We have filed GSTR 3B every month on time. But We have not shown RCM on renting of immovable property from July 2017 to September 2017 & not paid. Now if We have to pay RCM then what is the procedure and can we show this in the august 2017 gstr 3b

    56. sir mera sale purchase last 7 month se ho raha hai lekin maine 7 month se gst file nahi kiya hai to kya har month 5000 late fee lagega

      1. In the case of non-filing of GST return late fee of Rs. 20/-, 10 in CGST and 10 in SGST per day need to be provided which shall be maximum 5000/-. In any case, late fees shall not exceed Rs. 5000/- for an entire financial year.

        1. I have registered for GST on Sep 2017 but due to some issues, I didn’t start my business. I didn’t file 3b also till date now please explain the penalty.

          20*365 days=7300
          20*364 days=7280
          20*363 days=7260 type this or
          or
          20*30 days 600Rs
          type this.

          1. The penalty is calculated as Rs. 10/- per day in CGST and Rs.10/- per day in SGST from the due date of filing the return till the date return is filed in case of nil return. For example for sept 2017 3b due date id 20 oct, 20177.No. of days shall be from 21st Oct 2017 to date of filing say 17.12.2018 i.e. 423 days. The penalty for sept,2017 shall be 10*423= Rs. 4230 in CGST and Rs. 4230 in SGST.

    57. Dear Sir,

      I paid GST on GTA services (on reverse charge basis) till Dec 17. After which and till date I have not paid any GST on the GTA services and neither showed them in my returns, due to ignorance that Reverse charge has been postponed till 30th June ’18.

      So my question is:

      1) How can this be rectified?
      2) Can I show the previous liabilities in the current month, and pay the tax.
      3) Do I need to pay any interest for the same? If yes, then what will be the percentage?
      4) Can I claim the ITC after payment of tax?

      1. (1) Yes, this can be rectified in current or subsequent months.
        (2) Yes, you can show the same and pay tax on reverse charge basis in cash
        (3) Interest to be paid @ 18% from the due date of payment till the date of actual payment
        (4) Yes. ITC can be claimed after payment

    58. I would like to know what is NiL Return.

      A: I do not have any Purchases or Sales – It is nil Return and attract Rs. Per Day Late fee if filed after the due date
      B: I do not have any Purchases But no Sales – It is nil Return. What will be late Fee
      C: I have purchased and Sales but no CGST / SGST / IGST liability. What will be a Late fee or will it be called as mention in your text “(in case of Nil tax liability)”
      D: I have Purchases and paid CGST / SGST / IGST but my whole sales are on IGST and no TAX liability to pay as I pay more on purchases and collect less on IGST. So will it be called as Nil Tax and need to pay Late fee Rs. 50/- or Rs. 20 per day

      Your text stated as Rs. 20/day i.e. Rs. 10/- day in each CGST and SGST (in case of Nil tax liability)
      Please reply

      1. A. In case there is no sales and purchases it is considered as Nil return and late fee shall be Rs 10/- each in CGST and SGST.
        B. In case there are purchases it is not Nil return and late fee shall be Rs. 25 each in CGST and SGST.
        C. In this case, it is not Nil return and late shall be the same as stated above Rs. 25/-
        D. This not Nil return and late fee shall be Rs. 25/-.
        Nil return is that when there is no purchases and sales means ni data in any table of GSTR-3B

    59. Hello,

      We need to make payment of the only IGST. Please suggest as to where we need to mention the fee on late payment of IGST, whether it should be mentioned as a breakup (CGST and SGST) or only as the fee for IGST?

    66. Dear Sir,

      I applied for GSTIN in Dec’17 and filed for cancellation in Apr’18 because of lack funds from the beginning and no knowledge in GST compliance. Meanwhile, I filed GSTR-1 but didn’t file GSTR-3B from Dec’17 to Till Date (Jun’18). I just want to know how much would be late fee levied to me because when I file GSTR-3B for January’18 it shows Rs.3000 late fee. Is it the total late fee from the Dec’17 to Jun’18 or Just for that month. Also, if late fees will be separate for each month, how much it will be in total for now?

      As I calculated, it might be (3000 + 2400 + 1800 + 1200 + 600) + 18% interest = 10,620?

      Please help.

    68. Sir, Before starting my business I enrolled for Tin no in January 2017 which later I migrated to GST My sole purpose was to get the loan before starting the business and after so much hard work it got approved in December you should be knowing do bank works in India? My business got started effectively in January 2018. I have not submitted any GST till now What penalty I have to pay or suggest me anyway to exempt from the penalty and if I have to pay penalty than how much it will cost? If I submitted GSTR 3B till 20th…kindly reply

      1. You need to file NIL GSTR-3B & GSTR-1 beginning from July 2017 till date. In case of NIL returns, Rs.10 per day late fee is leviable. The late fee will be leviable in GSTR-3B July 2017- April 2018 Month.

    69. I have wrongly paid GST late fee under IGST late fee column. Can it be adjusted as the late fee with CGST and SGST if not then why IGST column is there? Actually last month I have an only interstate sale, therefore, I have paid in IGST late fee column.

      Thanks

    78. Respected Team,
      when i file GSTR3B for the month of March-18, when i did the payment of INR 6,39,000/-GST and in a blink it did offset the laiblities, and after which when i clicked on Yes button, agin it did offset liabilities successfuly. So when i filed GSTR3B and downloaded GSTR3B returns, the payment of taxes is nill and my cash ledger showed up 6,39,000/- balance means GSTR3B was filed without payment of Taxes. Please suggest me what is interest charges on late payment of GST whenever i receive notice from GST.

    79. What does “NIl return” in GST means?
      What does “Nil tax liability” in GST means?
      What does “Normal GST return” means?
      what will be late fee status in above three cases? Please explain elaborately.

      Thanks in advance

      1. In case a dealer has no outward supplies, in that case also he has to file GST return which is called NIL return.

        A dealer may have nil tax liability if his ITC is more than the outward tax payable. In this case, NIL return would not be filed. The dealer would have to disclose details of his outward supplies, ITC etc in his return.

        Late fee in case of NIL return (For each such return)- Rs. 20/day, for which such failure continues.

    80. Sir,

      While filing GSTR-3B for the month of January 2018 [Filed on 20-02-2018], I have made an error in typing eligible ITC. Actual ITC was Rs. 3158.04 for both Central and State GST. The CGST was typed as 3158.04, but the SGST part was typed as 318.04 inadvertently (digit 5 is missing) and got filed as well. i.e., my eligible ITC for the state tax is lowered by Rs. 2840/-.

      I’ve tried claiming this amount in GSTR-3B of February 2018, but when typing the amount in State Tax, the same amount appears in Central Tax as well. I can’t make an entry only for State!

      How can I get ITC of Rs. 2840/- for the state tax part alone?

      Thanks in Advance

          1. The late payment of tax amount attracts interest whereas late fees are charged for the late filing of returns. In your case, you have deposited the tax amount. so you will not be liable for interest. but in case you have not filed your returns on the due date then you will be liable for late fees applicable from the day after due date.

      1. Hello Sir, I have filled all the returns GSTR 3B & GSTR 1 as per shown on the dashboard as the manpower service provider is there any more return to file which is not declared on the dashboard so far.

    81. Sir, we have not filed GST returns from September 2017 till date. Recently we filed Sep 2017 and our auditor informed we have to pay penalty and interest. Now we have record notice to pay from oct to dec 2017. Our auditor says if we delay further they will cancel our GST number. Is it true? If true then what is the solution as we are into some financial prob

      1. Non-filing of returns will attract heavy fines and penalties. It will not result in cancellation of GST number. Also, any subsequent returns cannot be filed if returns for the prior periods is pending.

      2. Sir, We have not filed returns from Oct to March. What will be the penalty? Our CA told that penalty amount will be 21000. Is it the correct amount please help us we are in big confusion?

    82. Sir,

      we have purchased raw material and used both in Taxable & non Taxable items, How to take Input GST on Taxable items. We have used all input in the taxable item. How much penalty would be imposed?

      we are manufacturing bakery products.

    83. Sir, I have not filed any GSTRs from DEC 2017 to MAR 2018 and filed all the pending GSTRs on 28th MAR 2018. My CA gave a GST challan and said it is the penalty and the amount was 14000/-. I doubt the amount is more, is it correct?

        1. Thank you sir for your reply,

          I have Form GST PMT-06 Payment Challan which has 7000 in CGST and 7000 in SGST total 14000 to pay

          Now, what should I do how can I appeal for this and to whom? My CA is not giving the proper response. Please help me solve this issue.

          1. As you have made the payment of late fees, now you can go for the filing of GSTR-3B and after submitting of return you can offset your tax and late fees liability underpayment of tax column of GSTR-3B. Underpayment of tax column, your late fee amount will automatically calculated by the website, you just to need to put the amount in paid through cash column and set off your liability.

    84. Dear Sir, I have started selling my product through an online portal, however, there were no sales other than oct’17 … I have file GST for September and October and paid the necessary fine. But now I don’t have any sales from November onward but I am unable to file nil return as well as I can see huge penalty for the same…. please guide how can i file nil return as well as get my fine waived off… what is the procedure to get waiver of late fine with no sales… Regards, Priti

      1. In GST, you need to file returns even if you have not conducted any business during the concerned tax period, so you need to file NIL returns and there is no such provision of waive off of late fee in case of NIL return, only the late fee amount has been reduced to Rs. 20/day in case of NIL tax liability.

    85. I am a contractor executing works of air conditioning plants in various govt departments. now some works have been completed before the implementations of GST but payments are being made in March 2018 earlier works contract tax rate was 12.5% please intimate how should I deposit tax and at what rate.

    86. We are registered in Composition scheme. Now we are filing GSTR 3B for the month of January and February. How can we file GSTR 3B?

    87. Sir, one of my clients does not file the GSTR 3B from Aug to Feb now we try to file that Aug how much late fee till date and how two calculated the interest on liability.

      1. The late fee will be Rs. 50/day i.e. Rs. 25 each in CGST and SGST (in case of any tax liability) or Rs. 20/day i.e. Rs. 10 each in CGST and SGST (in case of no tax liability) and interest will be charged@ 18% p.a. to be calculated on the days’ basis. Amount of late fee and interest will be auto-calculated by dept. the site once you submit your data.

        1. I also not filed from Oct to till date for some problem, The system calculated automatically for 3750 plus 3750 so should I pay these two and file the remaining months? Or do I have to pay penalty for every month 50 per day?

          I mean Oct to Apr 50 per day

          Nov to APR 50 per day like these?

          or the total is 3750 plus 3750 till now?

          I am also looking to close the business will I have to cancel registration?

            1. Thanks, after late fees payment can they allow me to file the remaining months till to date without fees or should I have to pay for every month late fee? I hope you understand my problem.

            2. Once you paid late fees for all the month at one time then the extra amount will be reflected in your cash ledger and that too you can utilise for adjusting that against your future late fees liability.

            3. This is the last question as I cant reply the last comment. Once I paid October late fee is it enough for all the months? or I have to pay November, December late fees etc.

              Please clarify and I ordered to cancel the GST in morning.

            4. Sir,

              We know late fees are calculated by the system we need the correct answer, not such an answer.

            5. Sir, please calculate the late fees as per law specified by us above and delay no. of days applicable to you from date of filing return till date you will file the return. Suppose for Feb 2018 you are filing return today late fees shall be 10*218 days=2180 for CGST and 2180 for SGST.

    88. Dear Experts, One of my client have registered in GST from July onwards. but has not filled any returns till date.

      My question is whether any penalty will be there for filing GSTR 3B for the period from July to Sept. if I am filing return today?

      For another month we are paying the penalty amount.

    89. Sir, one of my clients filed GSTR 3B & GSTR1 in time from July onwards. Now pending only February return. My question is he accidentally omitted the invoice he raised as service charges in return GSTR3 & GSTR 1 (quarterly) July to January these bills omitted. Now can we shows this bills in GSTR3 of February? What is the procedure? Please help me. All the bills are previous date and client ready to pay Interest. Please help…

        1. Reverse charge? You mean column d. Inward supply (liable to reverse charge)?. Our omitted bills are outward supply. Can we enter it in the general column and remit the payment along with interest?

    90. Dear Experts,

      I have been regularly filing my GST returns since July. However, I have not included my Rental Income in any GST Returns.

      My question is whether I have to pay interest for the all the months (July/August) where GST council provided relief. Also, I have collected GST but not have deposited the same with Government.

    91. Sir,

      I have opted for regular from the composition. I submitted nil return for oct-dec and submitted gstr3b for dec month.but I could file both gstr4(oct-dec) and gstr3b(dec). I’m getting an error “liability for the previous tax period is yet to be paid” when I attempt to file the return. I have paid all cash. There is no pending liability to clear. What to do now? any solution?

    92. Unaware of GST RCM on Freight Paid, since July 2017 to till date. Now the said issue comes to the knowledge. How to calculate interest and how to disclose the same in returns.

      Furthermore, we include the amount of freight (separately shown) in the invoice and charge GST at the same Rate as applicable to the product.

    93. Hello sir, what is the liability date I should give? As I take GST only because of Amazon (to start a seller account on Amazon) I have no any registered company. I mean to resell products from manufacturers. Any drawbacks in this?

    94. Sir, we delayed our GSTR 3B return filing and tax payment by 1 day hence accordingly interest & the late fee will be levied. Our output tax is getting adjusted against our ITC and final tax payment is only in respect of exports and RCM (both to be strictly paid through cash).

      My query is, interest of 18% will be levied on-

      a) The net tax payable liability i.e on exports & RCM or
      b) The total tax liability computed before off-setting eligible ITC?

    95. In my first July GST payment, i paid Rs.14000/- in cess column by mistake instead of IGST column. My consultant asked me to pay the amount again in the proper column which I did. now, how do I adjust or get a refund of the other wrongly paid amount.

    96. Dear Sir,

      We have not filed GST from September due to some initial GST system issues and also our business very very less under 5 lakh for last 6 months. We have holiday packages business (tour operator category) which are mainly interstate in terms of input and output. So if it is applicable only for IGST? and we don’t need to pay any late penalty in this case. Please help.

      Thank you.

      1. Late fees of Rs. 50 per day (Rs. 20 per day for nil return) is applicable per return from due date of filing return to the actual date of filing. Also, interest is payable @18%p.a. applicable from the due date of payment to the actual date of payment of taxes if any.

    97. Hello sir, we have paid the tax during the month of December on time in January and filed the GSTR-3B on time, but we have missed one tax amount for an invoice, so how we have to pay the tax for the same? what is the procedure for the missing payment of tax? what is the penalty or interest calculation for such cases?

      1. You can pay the amount with 18% p.a. the interest rate applicable from the next day from the due date of payment which is 20th Jan in your case. If you have failed to add invoice amount in 3b then you can add it in GSTR 1. Late fees are applicable only on late filing of the return. So it will not be applicable on late payment of interest.

    98. HI SIR,

      TAXABLE AMOUNT OF A INVOICE HAS BEEN SHOWN IN GSTR-3B, TAX ON THE SAME HAS NOT BEEN SHOWN AND NOT PAID. KINDLY PROVIDE A METHOD IN WHICH IT CAN BE RECTIFIED IN GSTR-1.

      SHOULD THE TAX LIABILITY BE PAID ALONG WITH INTEREST AND LATE FEES?

    99. Dear sir

      I submitted the return GSTR 4 but some changes in return can I do changes after submitting the return but not filled and I submitted the return on 18.01.2018 of oct to dec17 quarter but not filled till now. Please clarify that any penalty for non-filling of return and any penalty for Due tax payment.

      one other problem has I filled the NIL return of GSTR 4 of July to Sep 17 quarter Dtd 18.01.2018. and as per govt instruction, Jul to Sep quarter late fees penalty of return is waived.but when I submit the return the liability ledger is shown Rs 480 penalty i.e. Rs 20 per day and I paid the same amount.

      Please clarify how I take credit or refund of penalty amt.

      1. You cannot make changes in already submitted data, as reset option is only available in GSTR-3B. Delay in late filing will attract a late penalty of Rs. 50/day i.e.Rs.25 in each SGST and CGST (in case of tax liability) and Rs. 20/day i.e. Rs. 10 in each SGST and CGST (in case of NIL tax liability)

        As late fees for GSTR-3B only is waived off by the department, you have to pay penalty for delay in filing GSTR-4.

        1. The late fee will be Rs. 50/day i.e. Rs. 25 each in CGST and SGST (in case of any tax liability) or Rs. 20/day i.e. Rs. 10 each in CGST and SGST (in case of no tax liability) while late fees for the period from July-Aug has been waived off by dept. and interest will be charged@ 18% p.a. to be calculated on the days’ basis. Amount of late fee and interest will be auto-calculated by dept. The site once you submit your data.

    100. Dear Sir,

      I’ve filed GSTR 3B of Nov’17 on 20th Dec’17 (last date) but by mistake opted for ‘No’ when it asked that if I’ve made any outward supply. the payment box came disabled & I filed the return (thinking that it is disabled because I may have to pay tax quarterly i.e. at the end of Dec’17. now I realised the mistake and want to know how can I pay my tax liabilities for the month of Nov’17. please note that I’ve filed GSTR 3B of Dec & paid my liabilities for Dec month. Please help

    101. Sir,

      We submitted GSTR 3B of December before 20th January-18, but non-availability of DSC pen drive we enable to file the 3B return. liability was there which adjusted with ITC. once we reset the 3B. when to generate challan? so please advice us how to pay late fee & interest.

    102. We have not file NIL GSTR-3B for Oct, Nov and Dec 2017. What is the penalty and now where to pay the late fee and interest? We tried to pay but only Interest columns are enabled whereas late free column is disabled. Please advise

      1. Late fees for delay in filing return is Rs. 50/day (in case of tax liability) and Rs.20/day (in case of no tax liability) and interest also to be levied @ 18% p.a. (calculated on daily basis). As late fees is to be automatically calculated by the portal , so first you need to submit the data and then you can able to enter data in late fees column.

    103. We do not submit GSTR3B July to December 2017, If we submit GSTR3B July today, How much Rs paid for Late Fees and interest both CGST & SGST tax paid 9734.00. Please calculated this amount.

      1. As such delay in return filing will attract late fees of Rs.50/day i.e Rs. 25 each in CGST and SGST (in case of tax liability) and Rs.20/day i.e. Rs 10 each in CGST and SGST and interest should also be calculated at 18% p.a. (calculated on daily basis). But late fees for the period Jul – sep has been waived off by the department.

    104. I have not paid the tax liability from Oct 17 onwards and even not filled GSTR 3B and GSTR 1. Can anyone help me how to calculate interest and penalty?

    105. Govt. waives off late fee for delayed filing of GSTR-4

      “December 29, 2017

      SECTION 47, READ WITH SECTION 128, OF THE CENTRAL GOODS AND SERVICES TAX ACT, 2017 – RETURNS – LEVY OF LATE FEE – WAIVER OF LATE FEE PAYABLE FOR ALL REGISTERED PERSONS WHO FAILED TO FURNISH RETURN IN FORM GSTR-4 BY DUE DATE

    106. I have already filled all the figures of tax in outward supplies and eligible ITC in box No. 3.1 & No. 4 respectively and paid the balance GST through Net Banking which is credited in my electronic cash ledger. But after waiting for almost four days, I am not getting set off in payment of tax-box & i am not able to file the GSTR-3B return for the month of December 2017. Can anyone guide me? I have checked & rechecked every columns, pressed refresh button but it has not solved the problem.

    107. Sir, I filed GSTR 1 of July month in Jan 2018, am I liable to pay the late fee of filing return if yes then when to pay the same?

      1. As per the Site GSTR 1 due date is 10-Jan-2018, will the site allow us to file GSTR-1 on 11th Jan 2018 also, If we are ready to pay the Late Fees of Rs.50/- Per Act.

        Also, We have not filed the GSTR-1 Return from Aug-2017 till Nov-2017, How the Late fees will be calculated, Is it Rs.50/- Per Act Only or is it for every Month we have to pay (.i.e Aug-17 -Rs.50 + Rs.50, Sep-17 Rs.50+Rs.50), Likewise.

        Please clarify.

    108. Sir, we have applied for GST registration late as on Jan 2018 received amount in August 2017 35 lakh and September 2017 5 lakh. Now what to do how can we file Aug return 2017 or we require to pay GST. What is the fine for that?

      1. You may be required to pay penalty for non -registration even though required by law since your turnover exceeds the threshold limit in Aug 2017. if the non-registration is not with an intention of fraud then it may extend to 10% of the tax amount subject to the maximum of Rs.10000.

    109. Dear All,

      Please suggest me. files GSTR-3b for the month of Oct’17 return with NIL. after filed successfully. Oct’17 GSTR-3b return show liability of late fee Rs.480 (CGST) and Rs.480 SGST)

      I create GST challan with the Rs.480 and 480 in penalty head & paid through NEFT and the same amount credited in cash ledger. Rs.980/-
      But my liability is the Late fee. Can I offset this liability of late fee from penalty head amount?

      1. You have deposited late fee under the wrong head. You can claim a refund for that. But you have to deposit late fee afresh as there is no provision for set off.

    110. I have to file GSTR 3B return for Aug 2017 month and I have calculated total late days. so how much amount should have paid for penalty and interest? Total late days 112 (112*200=22400) how many penalties should pay? 22400 or 5000

    111. I am manufacturer based in Delhi and supply wooden goods in Uttar Pradesh only under IGST @ 28%. But failed to file return GSTR-3B on October & November due to the shortage of funds. But a few days back my accountant has filed the GSTR-3B return for the month of “October” by selecting an option of paying “Late Fee” and “GST Due amount” in next month (i.e. in November Month GSTR3B as per mentioned in system).

      After submitting & filling it successfully the system shows no liabilities in the October month in Section 7.1 of GSTR-3B but there were liabilities of Tax & Late Fee. And now when we have funds and my accountant is accessing the GST portal to file the GSTR-3B return for November, the system is not showing any liabilities from the previous month. The data/liabilities it shows is only for the month of November only as per details mentioned on basis of our Outwards & ITC supply.

      The same liabilities in the month of November are set as SET-OFF and no other pending dues are shown by the system under Section 7.1 of GSTR-3B (November). All Tax & Late fee cleared for the month of November. But what should we do in case of those pending liabilities of October??

      1. Liabilities of last period return will only be reflected after you have submitted (not filed) your current period return. After submitting, you have to go to payment column and then check liability and set off the same.

    112. What should I pay penalty or fee during making “late fee” payment on payment page? I am confused whether I should pay penalty or fee?

    113. Dear Sir, I have done the GST regd. on 9th Aug 2017 ONLY to receive payment gateway for online consultancy business. I have been fined consecutively for two months August & September which I have already submitted. Following are the list of queries:

      1. Since the govt announced refund of late fees for the month of August & September, it is not showing in cash ledger as on date. No clue from GST office as there is no clarification on them as well. Any TAT in guidelines. Kindly guide me to avail the late fees.

      2.Can I close the GST registration as I am planning to close the present LLP firm(against which GST is registered) as I have not commenced any business from that firm? I am planning to open up under proprietorship name as payment gateway can be done with GST registration. If yes, what is the process?

      3. Any difference between the savings account and Individual current account as far as business is concerned with the new proprietorship firm.

      Kindly advice.

      1. 1) As per announcement by department, they will prepare some changes in their system to reflect waived late fees amount in credit ledger, so either you have to wait or contact to department.

        2) As there is change in constitution of assessee, so you need to cancel the old registration and apply for new.

    114. Sir, I purchase from up to Haryana via unregistered GTA DATED RECIEVING 1 AUG 2017. NOW I PAID TRUCK DRIVER 19100/-. AS I HAVE TO PAY 5%RCM BUT NOW IT IS PENDING UNTIL 1 JANUARY 2018. WHAT SHOULD I DO NOW? PLEASE REPLY.

      1. Suspension of RCM provisions up to 31.3.2018 is there only in case of purchase from unregistered dealers. In case of GTA service, no suspension is there. So you will have to deposit RCM in case of services.

        1. I have made challan including intrest of august ,which is also showing in cash ledger.
          Now, how to pay it in GSTR 3B of december on 20 jan 2018. i mean that in december month also, i have liability of RCM, so can i pay both august and december liablity in Gstr3b? and also how to file the same?

    115. Hello Sir, I could not file GSTR3B for November month. I have Rs. 4165 IGST Tax liability. I want to know that the late fee is applicable to IGST Tax liabilities? or it is applicable only for CGST & SGST? Actually, I am getting the different opinion from different people kindly guide me.

      1. The late fees are Rs. 50 per day. It is irrespective of the amount of tax.(except in case of nil return in which case it is 20 per day).Interest @18% is applicable on the amount short deposited from the due date to the date of deposit.

        1. The late fee is applicable only for CGST & SGST and not for IGST. You can confirm it by login into GST portal under GST3B for the particular month under the table Interest & late fees wherein late fees for IGST is disabled.

    116. Sir, My Due date was Nov 20, If I pay Today i.e 26th Dec. How much total Late Fee I have to pay in total. I have no sale in that month so I am filling NIL RETURN.

    117. Dear Sir,
      I failed to upload two invoice of november month in GSTR 3B.
      Can i upload it in december month GSTR 3B??
      what are the consequences??
      please guide me
      With Regards
      M.kavitha

      1. No invoice wise details are required to be filled in GSTR 3B. You have to fill the details of sales in total. The sales detail of same month is to be filled in the same month. As you have missed showing details of sales of two bills so you have to fill these details on GSTR 1 of November only.

        1. I failed to mention an IGST amount in 3b of October and noticed it after filing GSTR 1 for the same month. Now can I upload it in November’s GSTR 3B form and GSTR 1??

    118. Dear Sir, Through net banking the amount was debited from my account but status in my electronic ledger does not show the amount. In challan history, the status showing is initiated.What will happen to my money? Please guide whether int@18 will be levied or only fine will be charged for the same for delay filling.

    119. I booked an under construction flat in the month of June 2017 by payment of 15% of property value and paid service tax @4.5% to the builder. In the month of July agreement for sale has been registered and after that, I paid the rest amount of property value in 4 parts. 2 payments have been made in the month of July and one in November and the last one is in December. Till date builder has not issued any GST bill against those payments which is made after the July 2017, hence I couldn’t make any payment for GST. What should I do in this regard, please suggest?

    120. I have filed GSTR 3B for Oct with a late fee, now when I am initiating filing for Nov 2017, it is asking me to pay previous dues. The liability is showing Uner the head “Other than Reverse Charge”. What is this, do i need to pay this every month, why liability when i am filing return by due date. Please guide.

        1. Sir, I had filed my October 17. GSTR 3B return on 20 November 17. I had received the acknowledgement from the department through the mail that you had successfully filed a return. While filing for November GSTR 3B it shows late fees charge. Suggest me what to do

    121. Are there different term of Penalty and late fees? Late fees now calculate on days basis i.e. per day 100 but how many penalties calculate by the department?

    122. Now I have to deposit Rs. 100000 GST for the November 2017 in GSTR 3B, if this 1 lac will deposit by me on date 20 Jan then how much interest, late fee and penalty would be charged?

      1. The due date for the November is 20th December, any delay will attract 18% p.a. interest on tax amount (calculated on days basis) and also Rs.50/ day late fees for a delay in return filing. The penalty will only be assessed and imposed by department officer by serving any demand order.

    123. I have opted quarterly return option. But I have already filed my GSTR 3B return of September month in the month of October 2017. Now, the same is reflected not filed at the portal and I have already paid my liability at that point in time.

      Please suggest.

    124. Dear Sir

      1. I have opted for quarterly filing of returns, it is successfully updated
      2. I have NIL GSTR3B for Oct 2017 – status was SUBMITTED but omitted to change the status to FILED
      3. When I tried filing NIL for November 2017. Error is previous month return filing pending
      4. Hence I tried changing the status to FILED for GSTR3B of OCT 2017 on 18/12/2017. The system has accepted and status changed to FILED. The late fee payable amount displayed.

      How to make payment of this late fee?

      This late fee amount is not displayed in the NOV 2017 GSTR 3B? but error message of pending to be paid displayed and not allowed for filing NIL return for NOV 17. How to solve this and file NIL return for November 2017. The last date is 20/12/17. but the system is not allowing. following error message displayed.

      “You have late-fee liability for the current tax period or carry forward late-fee liability for the previous tax period, arising due to the delayed filing of GSTR-3B.”

      I have made e-payment of above late fee, it is available in my cash ledger under FEES. How to offset this liability?

        1. I have the same case and I have paid my late fees but even though it not allowed to me to file the November Nil return. Can you please explain how to offset the pending liability for November GSTR 3B.

          1. In case you have filed October return after the due date and there was a difference in Submit date and Filed date, the same will show as late fees for the November return. The same needs to be offset in November 3B return after you submit but before you file the return. Thereafter you should be able to file your return. Remember not to choose Nil return while options come as a return which shows Late Fees will not be considered a “NIL Return”.

    125. Dear Sag infotech,

      I have received GST on 25/Sep/2017. But I didn’t do any business so far. Also, i didn’t file any NIL return. Could you please tell me how many penalties I will have to pay from 25-Sep-2017 – 20-Dec-2017.

      1. As you have registered in September month, you need to file returns from September month onwards. Late fees will be Rs.20/day in case of nil liability and Rs.50/day in case of tax liability. However late fees for the month of September has been waived off by the department.

    126. I have filed GSTR 3B for the month of October on 16/12/2017. I forgot to make the late payment fees but when I realised I created challan and made the late payment fees. However, I am still getting an error “you have late-fee liability for the current tax period or carry forward late-fee liability for a previous tax period, arising due to the delayed filing of GSTR-3B.” I am unable to move ahead for a month of November.

      Please help

    127. Sir

      I am filling Gstr3b for November month on 17-Dec-2017 and this message is showing again and again. Late fee for the month includes previous month’s late fee charged due to delay in filing of the return. The calculation is [Date of Filing – (Date of Submission or Due date of Filing, whichever is later)] * [25/day (in case of any liability) or 10/day (in case of nil liability)] * per Act (CGST/SGST)

      1. This means while filing a return for the previous month, you have not filed the return on the same date of submitting the data on a portal, so you first need to pay the late fee liability pertaining to the delay in days from submitting the data to the filing of the return.

    128. I have filed 3B for the month of Oct as nil, but now I have observed that a bill was raised.
      so now how to deal this. How much interest and penalty needs to pay?

    129. Respected Sir/Madam,
      I have submitted GSTR 3B for October on 21-Nov-2017 along with a penalty of late fee Rs 50 (CGST Rs25 SGST Rs25) but I have made the payment for a late fee on 7-12-2017 and filed the return on the same date of payment. Later on, when I try to file GSTR 3B for November 2017 on 16-Dec-2017 it shows late fees of Rs 800 (CGST Rs400, SGST Rs.400 ) but the last date has not yet been over. I have called GST helpdesk and informed them about it, they told me that it might be of technical error. So, Sir I just want you to clarify my doubts about it whether there might be any other error with regard to the filing of return of GSTR 3B.

      Thank You.
      With regards,
      (Hope Pohthmi)

      1. The late fees appearing on Nov 17 GSTR 3B is correct as the department treats the submit date and filing date as different. Any delay in submitting is displayed as of late fees in current month itself which in your case is Rs 50 for one day (20-Nov-17 to 21-Nov-17). Filing of return is complete when the return is filed with DSC/EVC i.e. 7-12-17 in your case. The day in the filing of return after submitting date 16 days from 21-Nov-17 to 7-Dec-17 is displayed as the penalty in next month GSTR 3B i.e. 50X16days = Rs 800.

    130. Dear Sir,

      I file GSTR 3B nil return for the month October in the month of November with late fee of 60 Via NEFT and some amount of late is carried forward to the next month now I am about to file nil return of November AND IN GSTR 3B in Table 5.1.

      1. Interest @ 18% is to be paid on delay payment of taxes and Rs. 200/day (Rs 100 in CGST and Rs. 100 in SGST) penalty is to be paid for delay filing of the return. If your tax liability is NIL from October month onwards, then a penalty for late filing will be reduced to Rs.20/day.

    135. For the month of October 17, we filed the GST returns and eligible inputs credit as IGST INR 1130, CGST INR 1036 and SGST INR 1036. when we file the returns for the month of November 17 with the sales only IGST 3402,

    137. DEAR SIR,

      BY MISTAKE WE HAVE PAID LATE FEE IN THE IGST COLUMN… IN WHAT SCENARIOS I COULD UTILISE THE SAME. Please clarify.

    138. Sir, We paid tax and submitted GSTR 3B for the month of September on 19.10.2017, but filed on 20th November”17. For GSTR 3B of October submitted on 21st Nov with late fee CGST-20, SGST-20, but not able to file the return for October”17. Do we penalty or Interest. How much we have to pay? How to calculate.

      1. Yes, you have to pay Rs 20 under CGST and SGST each if your tax liability is nil. As you are saying that you are unable to file a return then there may be some technical issue so you can contact the department for that.

      2. if only nil return filing late fee is Rs.20/- each, other wise you should pay SGST – Rs.100/- and CGST – Rs.100/- per day

    139. Dear sir,

      Our company received GST registered number as on Sept’17. Can we liable to pay GST for the month of Sep’17. And what about July & Aug’17 GST Returns?

    140. I am a registered GTA service provider and I give service to registered builder and wrongly I charge 5% GST on forwarding basis in September month and in September month return I filled as an exempted supply and builder claim the ITC of 5%, So my question is what can I pay GST on forwarding charge @5% on forwarding charge if service recipient is registered and can I pay tax in September In the month of October return with interest @18%.

      1. The registered builder may claim ITC by adding details in GSTR-2 under the head “Add Missing Invoices”. After that, it will be reflected in your GSTR-1A. you may approve the transaction. You have to deposit the amount with interest.

    141. Hi, I pay my GST regularly every month I have a query. Due to some technical error, I couldn’t pay GST 3B on time, I tried to pay through both NEFT and Net banking but both didn’t work. Now my question is, in the case of NEFT what shall be my amount to be paid after 5 days? as I have read somewhere that the CPIN remains valid for 7 days. so will the amount keep increasing or I can pay them for the one I wish to.?

      1. CPIN remains valid for 15 days. In case challan is generated for payment of taxes and CPIN is received you can use such challan for 15 days to pay taxes and file GSTR-3B return, However, in case GSTR-3B is filed after the due date interest and the late fee is to be deposited in cash by new challan.

    142. Sir, Our company turnover comes under Rs 1.5 Cr, So we need to file quarterly basis .. right? We have filed for the period July to Sep and October to December can be done in January 2018? Quarterly filing means including GSTR 3B, right?

      Please clarify my doubt, when time permits.
      Thanks

    143. Dear Sir, I purchased material from some x in July 2017, and I am missed my invoice and I get that in November. How can I submit under GST? what is the penalty? please suggested me.

    144. Sir, the composition dealer has used old series bill for outward. should we need to make new bills with GST no. on it. or we should use old bills for tax purpose. We want to know should we revise the bills or there is no need to revise old bills without GST number.

      1. As you are registered under composition scheme so you have to mention the GST number on the invoice. You can use the old bill but you have to mention GST number. Now you have to revise the bills that you have already issued.

    145. I have taken the tax on total turnover instead of taking on taxable turnover and by mistake, i have already submitted the return. Besides this, I have generated challan for the tax taken on total turnover.

      By considering the mistake, I have again saved challan with the tax amount which is to be taken on taxable turnover.

      please guide me how to adjust/revise /any remedy for my wrongdoing?

    148. Hello,

      1. Hello, We are a content creation company producing content for Google and monetizing it on YouTube. The revenue is paid by Google in Dollars. Is this taxable under GST? If yes what is the taxable percentage?

    149. Hello. Regarding late filing of returns and penalty attached to it, if a registered person has not filed the return for 3 months or more, then since he has missed more than one filling due date, so will the maximum fine of 5000 be multiplied by the number of due dates missed? For example, if a person has failed to file 6 consecutive returns, so will it 5000 multiplied 6, i.e 30,000 maximum late fee?

      Thanks.

      1. The penalty would be payable for the period in which the taxpayer failed to furnish the return up to a maximum penalty of Rs.5000. If GST return for a month is not filed, then the GST return for the next month cannot be filed by the taxpayer Hence, late filing of GST return will have a cascading effect leading to heavy fines and penalty.

        1. Thanks for responding. Just to be clear, if one misses 3 consecutive due dates, his fine would be only 5000 maximum for all those missed returns?

          1. A penalty of Rs. 200 per day is levied if the GSTR-4 is not filed. The maximum penalty that can be charged is Rs. 5,000.Also, if the GSTR-4 is not filed for a given quarter, then the taxpayer cannot file the next quarter’s return either. for nil returns penalty is Rs. 20 per day.

    150. The above rates are only for CGST, right? The same will also apply to SGST. hence the rates mentioned above will double. Can you confirm the same?

    151. Dear Sir, We have not paid GST for the month of September yet please clarify whether interest 18% or penalty of INR 200 per day will be levied over my tax liability for the month of September? or it will not be charged.

    152. Hi,
      1. I am trying to file return July 17 coming across below error. Can you please suggest how to resolve this.
      “Error! GSTR-1 Save/Action on Counterparty Invoices/Submit are not allowed for current date, Please visit https://www.gst.gov.in for details on GSTR-1 timelines”

      2. What is the due date for PAYMENT of Aug. 2017 GST? Can I use challan available on the portal for payment of the same?

    153. Sir, while filling GSTR 3B. I forgot to enter purchase details, now the system shows huge tax liability which I cannot afford to pay. Is there any solution so that I don’t have to pay the taxes and rectify this mistake.

      1. Sir, if you have submitted the form 3b there is no alteration available. so there is no other go… you have to pay the liability to file your gstr3b.

    154. Sir, we have charged GST in our bills from July onwards but not filled the return and also not deposited the GST. Please elaborate the applicable penalty and as I understand that have to pay the penalty for the delay and also 18% interest on the delayed amount. Please confirm the applicable penalty. Secondly, we got registered under Composition Scheme but charged the GST from our clients.

      Thanks

      1. “Sir, if you have submitted the form 3b there is no alteration available. so there is no other go… you have to pay the liability to file your gstr3b.”

    155. Sir, I have filed July-17 GSTR 3B on 07.10.2017 due to “Chksum Validation Failed” negative figure in Tax payable column. In GSTR3B for Aug-2017 I have not set off the liability, the error message shows is “Cash Validation Failed”, due to the Negative figure of Rs. -3,83,056 under RCM (Central Tax) Tax payable column and the same negative figure of Rs. -3,83,056/- under RCM (Central Tax) Cash paid column. How to rectify it.

    156. Sir, We pay 200000/- GST amt. on Sep’17 20th. but some money problem. so we will pay after Oct’17 20th date. so how to calculate GST interest please tell me. very very useful for me.

    157. DEAR SIR,

      LATE FEE YOU ARE SAID RS.5000/- PER MONTH NOT MORE THAN THAT. HOW WE NEED TO CALCULATE. FOR CGST RS5000, SGST RS 5000 OR FOR BOTH RS. 5000PER MONTH. BUT YESTERDAY 21.10.2017, WE PAID 200 (CGST 100, SGST 100) AS LATE FEE IN AUGUST. AD ALSO YESTERDAY RS.6400 (3200,3200) FOR THE SAME PERIOD AUGUST. AT THAT DAY WE ONLY SUBMITTED. YESTERDAY ONLY WE COME TO KNOW ABOUT THE EVC. SHALL WE ABLE TO GET THE BALANCE AMOUNT OF RS 6400-5000=1400 AS REFUND.

    158. I have paid my late fee under penalty heads even though I am unable to off set liabilities. Can I know the solution to file the GSTR3B?

      1. I have filed the GSTR 3B when I have paid the late fee under Fee Heads It accepted the offset liabilities. Now the closing balance is showing up as 5000/-. Can I use the amount for the next month tax liability?

    159. Sir, Wrongly I have paid in Penalty Column Rs. 6400/- instead of Late Fee for the month of August-2017 before the filing of GSTR-3B, How can I adjust the same or get the refund back, as I have paid fresh Challan as Late fee and filed the GSTR-3B.

    160. Dear Sir, For August Return we have done on 24-09-2017 & against the late fee, we have deposited Rs.1600 but when we are doing GSTR 1, September return again Rs.3800 showing against late fee for Aug, without depositing the penalty our GSTR 1 can be filled.What to do? Any suggestions from your side?

    161. Dear Sir, For August Return, has been filled on 24-09-2017 & we have deposited Rs,.1600 against late fees. But while submitting GSTR 1 on 17-10-2017 again penalty showing Rs.3800, with out penalty our filling cant be done. Please suggest something.

      1. In that case, you have to pay that amount. It was charged because You have not filed the return on the same date which you have submitted the return.

    162. I’ve deposited GST Return late fee for the month of August in the wrong columns i.e. penalty and interest(5800+5800). and finally in fee column, how do I get the refund of those payments. please help!

    163. I have missed to include one payment made in the ITC and I have already submitted the GSTR3B. How can I include this payment?

      Thanks

    164. I have paid the late fees under the head interest, as shown in the “Check Balance” option in Payment of tax. Now it is not allowing me to offset the liability. It seems I will have to pay the late fees in some other Head but which one – Penalty or Fees?

      How or where can the interest paid amount be adjusted?

      Thanks

    165. Dear Concerned,

      I have paid tax amount under IGST for the month of August in the same month and submitted returns for Aug on 24th Sep. For which there was a late fee of Rs.800 (400 CGST & 400 SGST). This late fee, I paid inadvertently under IGST section during 29th Sep. Upon clarification from the Dept, I repaid again the same late fee (Rs.800) under CGST and SGST separately on 16th Oct. upon submission, I could file the returns successfully. However, for the month of September, there is an additional late fee of Rs.4400 (2200 CGST and 2200 SGST) has been levied which I got to know yesterday. This late fee (5200) looks huge amount for me to pay despite submitting the returns on the 4th day after due date. Do I need to pay or can I expect any waiver in this regard?

      Your suggestion is much appreciated in this regard

      1. introducing the late fee in delay for the filing of return and it has frozen through Gst site from 30-09-2017 and normally the traders, tax practitioners etc … thought that the late fee has been temporarily withdrawn by the govt due to difficulty in initial stages and more recycling process. In the meanwhile the govt.. has unscientifically charged a late fee with retrospective effect. It is the violation of natural justice and more sufferings in small traders and related colleagues and we will expect a favourable decision by the Gst council and it will be held on 24th Oct 2017 to redressing all unnecessary liabilities and sufferings by the dealers, chartered accountants, Tax practitioners etc

    166. I have paid a late fee for the month of August 2017 under head OTHERS and could not set-off the liability.And made another Callahan under FEE head and sent off liability. How can get back the earlier paid amount?

    167. 1. I migrated from VAT to GST. But my Certificate is effective from 1.8.2017. I had a very small turnover of Rs. 5510/- for which I deposited tax (Rs.992/-) in time. But there is no provision of July return in my case. What will happen?

      2. I am a manufacturer and seller of electrical goods. From my own customers, my own manufactured goods I charge them a little bit. About 2-3 thousand in a whole month. Do I have to pay GST on services? As they say, the limit is now 20 Lakh for services.

    168. what is the process of change in authorized signatory mobile number? and email id. if the taxpayer is proprietor then add new process allowed or not if no then how is the process to change it.

    169. DEAR SIR

      WE HAVE FILED GSTR 3B OF SEPTEMBER MONTH IN THAT WE HAVE to FILL THE SALES DATA INTO REVERSE CHARGES SUPPLY BY MISTAKE AND PUSH THE SUBMIT BUTTON FOR THAT WE HAVE LIABILITY OF SAME AS SALES LEDGER BALANCE SO WHAT WE WILL DO FOR THAT

    170. My liability for July return is Rs. 1637 for CGST and Rs. 1637 for SGST. If I pay on 7th October the interest amount is Rs. 39.00 each (please correct me if I am wrong). What will the penalty amount be? How is the penalty calculated?

      Please advise.

    171. Hi,

      I am trying to create a challan and I have 1400 late fee penalty. 700 in CGST and 700 in SGST. When I create the challan, should I put 700 in CGST fee column and same in SGST?

    172. Hi Sir, I am trying to file GST return file for the month of August, but there is a late fee of Rs 200. I am not able to figure out to pay the late penalty. Is there a way to understand how it can be done?

    173. Will GSTR 3B For the month of August will be extended. On newspaper it was published that No penalty and interest will be charged for the two months – July 2017 and August 2017 as a grace period and for learning and filing. Now the govt does not keep the promise. If the govt does this type of promise how can we do our work smoothly?

      With Regards
      Ganesh

    174. sir, yesterday i.e on 24/09/2017 i tried to file the GSTR-3B for Aug. The scenario is like this-

      1- IGST purchase tax= 10000

      2- no IGST TAX liability.

      3- there is CGST tax liability of rs. 5000 and input cgst tax credit=1000

      4- sgst tax liability is 5000 and sgst input credit=1000
      i paid rs 400 each for late filling penalty yesterday.
      i am trying to set of tax liability as under-
      1- Using IGST, WHICH is total rs.10000, for cgst which is 5000 ie 5000-1000( cgst input credit)=4000 then rs 4000 out of IGST CREDIT,

      THE cgst should be =0 liability.

      2- then SGST tax liability, which is rs. 5000 and input sgst credit rs. 1000=rs 4000 as bal. tax liability which i am setting off from rs. 4000 out of IGST balance which is rs 6000( 10000-4000). then this also should be 0.

      BUT massage is showing that – NO SUFFICIENT BALANCE.

      Further also let me know whether interest to be payable of late filling as like late penalty. i have not paid since no tax liability after the utilisation of IGST, CGST AND SGST input credit.

      Please Help

      1. YOU SHOULD PAY RS 2000/- BY CASH IN IGST (10000-4000-4000). ALSO, SHOULD REMIT THE LATE FEE UNDER CREATE CHALLAN COLUMN FEE
        THEN ONLY YOU CAN OFFSET THE LIABILITY. DO IT

    177. Today i am trying to file GSTR 3B but it says, GSTR-3B is not filed for previous period. I have already filled 200 as CGST and 200 for SGST as a late fee. Please suggest why it is not done.

      Regards
      Sunil

        1. I have already filled for the month of July, Now i am trying to file for AUGUST Month. While saving it says “GSTR-3B is not filed for previous period.”

    178. yet I have not submitted GST Return GST 3 B & Payment also. please tell me interest rate (August only). I will payment of gst 25 Sep 2017

      1. 100 RS ON CGST AND 100 SGST LATE FEE PAYMENT PER DAY WHICH MEANS IF U PAY ON 25TH SEP 2017 THEN TOTAL OF 1000 RS AS LATE FEE. U HAVE TO PAY RS 500 UNDER CGST HEAD AND RS 500 UNDER SGST HEAD. PORTAL IS NOT SHOWING IN INTEREST PAYMENT MSG

        IN CHALLAN LATE FEE HEAD IS MENTIONED

    179. Sir, GSTR-3B Return last date 20th September 2017, as declare by GST. I submitted my GSTR-3B return on the last date, but due to my wrong tax calculation I can’t submitted my return, today on 21st September I want to payment my liability on GST Portal by create payment with 18% interest challan. the portal show me the message “Your limit for current Tax Period has exceeded” in this situation how can I payment liability?

    180. Sir, i have filled mu aug 17 gst on 21 sept but it shows fine of 100 each, then i filled penalty of 100 each and then paid but it shows not availability of money then after i go to fine in challan creation and paid then only able to return file. but my question is that i have paid 200 in penalty is this money back to me or can i adjust in main balance in next month gst september or can i adjust this money in case of penalty only.

    181. GSTR 3B is submitted with wrong GST liability but GSTR 3B isn’t filed for correction of data in GSTR 1,2,3 and corrected GST amount is paid. Whether there will arise any liability of interest or penalty as such GST liability is not set off on due date?

      1. As per latest notification by CBEC, GSTR-3B is to be filed till the months of December, 2017 and filing GSTR-3B for next period will only allow when you have successfully filed the GSTR-3B for the previous months. So to avoiding penal provisions, better to file GSTR-3B.

        1. Sir, For Aug’17 – GSTR 3B return filing after due date 20/09/2017 – there is no late fee charges or we need to pay Rs.100/per day. For Aug’17 – Tax paid after due date 20/09/2017 – there is no late fee charges or we need to pay 18% interest on day basis. Kindly clarify me.

            1. For Aug they demand for GST return late fee. is there any notification which provides the waiving off late fee for GSTR 3b for the month of August 2017.

            2. Sir, in aforesaid conversation you said GSTR 3B late fees is waived off for July’17 and Aug’17. But in below KOMAL conversation you said GSTR 3B late fees is waived off only for July’17 and need to pay penalty for late filing for Aug’17 GSTR 3B.

              WHICH IS CORRECT ??? As per your above advice, GSTR 3B for Aug’17 is not filed with in due date.

    182. sir,
      I am doing Construction work on Contract order. How much GST I should pay? can I got some GST back? How can I reduce my tax?
