GST late fee
A GST late fee is the per-day charge for filing GSTR-1 or GSTR-3B after the due date — ₹50 per day (₹20 for nil returns), split equally between CGST and SGST, subject to a cap.
Formula
Late fee = ₹50 × days late (₹20/day for nil returns), capped per return
Example: GSTR-3B filed 10 days late (non-nil) → ₹500 late fee.
