For example, a Taxpayer has filed GSTR-3B for the month of December 2017 (due date 20th Jan 2018) on 23rd January 2018.

Amount of late fees to be paid:

Rs. 50` per day 3 days = Rs. 150 (Rs. 75 CGST + Rs. 75 SGST)

If the above return was a return with ‘Zero’ tax liability then late fees would be:

Rs. 20` per day 3 days = Rs. 60 (Rs. 30 CGST + Rs. 30 SGST)

For example, If you fail to pay your tax liability on the due date, you will have to pay additional 1000*18/100*1/365 = Rs. 0.49 per day as of late fee Where Rs. 1000 is the tax liability amount, 1 is the number of delayed days and 18 is the rate of interest (annual).

In case if a taxpayer does not file his/her return within the due dates mentioned above, he shall have to pay a late fee of Rs. 50/day i.e. Rs. 25 per day in each CGST and SGST (in case of any tax liability) and Rs. 20/day i.e. Rs. 10/- day in each CGST and SGST (in case of Nil tax liability) subject to a maximum of Rs. 5000/-, from the due date to the date when the returns are actually filed.
