Is there any way to reduce late fees of GST return?
Actually I have not filed the GST return from April 18 and now I got a notice from department for not filing the return.
My question is If I filed nil return for 6 month i.e upto September and show all bill in October month, I have to pay 20 Rs late fees instead Rs 50.
is it correct or not?
Please provide any way to reduce the late fees.
Thanks in advance.
