Late filing of 3B - Interest Recovery From GST department

Hi Expert,

In 2020, We received notice for interest payment for late filing of 3B for FY 2017-18,18-19 & 19-20. Amount of interest is approx 5K, And we paid this Interest through GSTR-3B of December 2020 & same has been communicated to Officer. But now new officer is asking this interest payment through DRC only and issued new order.

We had in argument that we have already paid this interest as per order within time.

Is there any provision to pretend that notice ???
