The due date has not been extended. It is still 20.04.2020 which has passed. There are relaxations given for late fees and interest. You have to setoff liabilities till 05.05.2020 to avoid interest. Merely depositing money in cash ledger will not save you from interest (It is a matter of litigation). You have to setoff liabilities (i.e. submit GSTR-3B) on or before 05.05.2020 otherwise interest applicable.
