While there's no specific late fee prescribed for GSTR-9C. General Penalty: Non-filing of GSTR-9C can attract a general penalty under the CGST Act, which may extend up to ₹50,000 (CGST + SGST). GSTR-9C is a reconciliation statement based on the annual return (GSTR-9).1 If GSTR-9 is filed late, it incurs a late fee of ₹200 per day (₹100 under CGST and ₹100 under SGST/UTGST), capped at 0.50% of the turnover in the State/UT. Some argue this could also apply to GSTR-9C.
