GST Late Fee & Pending Return Filing in India — Online, by Verified CAs

What a delay actually costs

• ₹50 per day late fee for GSTR-3B and GSTR-1 (₹20 per day for nil returns), per return
• 18% per annum interest on the unpaid tax, calculated from the due date
• Your buyers cannot claim input tax credit until GSTR-1 is filed
• E-way bill generation can be blocked after consecutive defaults
• Continued non-filing can lead to suspension and cancellation of registration
