Waiver of Late filing fee

29 November 2018

I have taken Vol. Reg. for GST in July 2017. But due to some unavoidable circumstances I was not able to start my business. And as the business was not running I have not filed returned of GST as well. Now I received a notice u/s 46 for filing the previous year returns.

When I start to file the returns it is asking for Late Fee which is very heavy.

Is there any way out for the waiver of Late filing fee (similar to condonation etc.)???

@ CA TARUN Sir
they are asking for money before filing of GSTR-3B.
Where the option to file "NIL RETURN" is coming there it is already blocked it is not enabled to choose yes. And the Interest and Late Fee OPTION YES is already ticked. I can't change that.

So how could I file the return without paying the return.?? Please give me information in details please.

@ Raja Sir

Sir you said it right I have filed the return From July to Oct and No late fee has been asked. but when I tried to proceed with the Nov. Month Return then they are asking for the Late Fee. (as I said above option to choose NIL RETURN as Yes is blocked)

Now how could I proceed with return without paying the late fee.?? Any Condonation or Waiver request can be made ?? My Business has never started.
