File GSTR-1. Automatic calculation of late fees is not implemented however late fees can be demanded. No Interest since tax paid in GSTR-3B

No options as per GST Law. Will have to pay late fees when demanded until waived by government

If a registered taxpayer fails to file the return in GSTR-3B for preceding 2 months then he would not be allowed to provide the details of outward supplies of goods or services or both in GSTR-1. As per prior provisions, non-filing of GSTR-3B resulted in blocking of e-way bill generation.

The late filing of GSTR-3B attracts interest at 18% along with late fee. In case the tax was paid within the due date but the GSTR-3B was filed after the deadline, both late fees and interest will apply. Every registered person is required to file Annual return for every financial year.
