Question-1 Taxpayer has paid all liability along with late fees and interest, but is unable to file Form GSTR 3B due to system error. Will he/she have to pay more late fees?
Answer: If after submit, return is filed late, then in that case late fee is payable from date of submit to date of filing. Such late fee is auto-populated to next month’s return as current month’s liability has already been finalized.
