I filed my ER-1 return on 10-12-15. But, on 11-12-15 I saw that the status was showing as rejected as I had put the wrong Excise Registration Number. Then I filed return again on 11-12-15 with correct Excise Registration Number. There was no change in my excise data and I had already paid all my dues before filing of return on 10-12-15. I want to know whether I will have to pay the penalty and how much?

Payment of ‘amount’ (late fee) for delayed filing of returns – If Monthly/quarterly return, Annual Financial Information Statement, Annual Installed Capacity Statement etc. are filed late, an ‘amount’ (really late fee) of Rs 100 per day (maximum Rs 20,000) per return is payable – Rule 12(6) of Central Excise Rules inserted w.e.f. 1-3-2015.
In your case unfortunately you have to pay penalty.
