While filing GST returns for August 2017 I paid LATE FEE of Rs 5600/- (Rs 2800/- under SGST & Rs 2800/- under CGST) and PENALTY of Rs 5000/- (Rs 2500/- under SGST & Rs 2500/- CGST wrongly) as shown below:
Late Fee Penalty
SGST 2,800.00 2,500.00 CGST 2,800.00 2,500.00
Total 5,600.00 5,000.00
Now as the late fee for August is waived the amount is shown/available under the heads SGST & CGST and also the amount of penalty is shown/ available under the heads SGST & CGST
I am a Mutual fund distributor and as I get commissions from companies having their offices registerd in their own states (outside Tamil Nadu), I pay only IGST.
As such I am not able to utilize the above amounts of late fee and penalty (both are available under SGST & CGST),
I tried to create a refund application after logging into my account in the GST portal. While submitting the return I got the following message
Error! System failure
Hence I request you to guide me to get refund of the amount.
