I agree that its my mistake. I am not telling that govt should not put penality. It should put penality to avoid people from failing to filie returns. My request is that the fee can be lowered for NILL returns. I would be ready to pay this Rs.820 fee or whatsoever if i had some income and would defenitely not question in the forums.

Yes they keep nominal fee Rs. 20 per day for nil return now what govt can do... Filing of nil return doesn't take more than two minutes... Sorry padmanabhan ji... Now u aware of penalties... File ur return and from next time within time for late fee avoidance... If they keep nil penalty on nil return then no one gonna file return... We should hv to comply within time

What are the pros and cons of cancelling the migration?. Right now, I am not into business. Kept it on hold due to financial problem.

Please suggest and advice.

So if I cancel my GST, Will it be converted to TIN/VAT?. Or the entire license itself will be cancelled so next time I need to apply a fresh GST registration?.

yes after cancellation you need to apply a fresh GST number .... after cancellation of your gst reg no vat/tin ... then you treated as unregistered .....

Dear Mr Padmanabhan., If you are migrated dealer then you can cancel your gst registration. Also You can take new registration under GST after registration as per the Same PAN... BUT, Only Condition Before cancellation you must be settle your all liabilities if you have... Otherwise no more restriction...

Thank you for your replies. It helped me.

Just paid off the liabilities for NILL returns. Borrowed the amount and paid. This type of late fee was not there previously when it was VAT. The main intention of the govt is to find all possible ways to swallow money by the names of penalities, late fees, etc. This is not seen only in this type of GST case but also seen in everyother govt related palces. Proud!!!

In vat there is penalty of Rs. 10000 for not filing of return or late filing of return but they didn't charge it at the time of filling the return.... Later at the discretion of officer they raise demand.... Generally they don't charge it... But in law penalty is prescribed... Hope now u timely comply all the return filing... Ask from anyone if u hv not knowledge about that.... U can also surrender ur gstin

Yes, as you said they generally don't charge. I mentioned "This type of late fee was not there previously when it was VAT". I have also done late filing of returns of VAT. I filed a month's return some six months later with no extra fee or penality when I was doing the returns manually in sales tax office.

Now they brought everything as digital and forces us to pay. In Simple words, the submit button is disabled untill the late fee is paid. Hope the difference can be felt.
