There has been lot of confusion regarding due dates of GST returns and many people are in misconception that the due dates have been extended till september 2020.
Well not all types of returns have been provided with extension and I will try to clear all that doubts in this article with providing proper interest rates.

Disclaimer: These rates are only for Taxpayers filing returns on monthly basis.
Government have provided opportunity to taxpayers to file all pending returns starting form July 2017 to July 2020 with Late fee of maximum Rs.500 up to 30.09.2020. If you have Nil returns then your late fees will be zero. If you did not file your GST Returns till 30.09.2020, then you might have to pay late fees as usual from the actual due date of respective month.
There has been lot of questions asked regarding refund of Late fees which have been already paid by the tax payers who have filed returns before waiving of late fees. Earlier in Dec 2019, there was a notification regarding waiving of late fees for filing returns till Mar 2019. But no refund has been issued till date for late fees who have already paid before Dec 2019. So with this assumptions we could conclude that there will be no refunds of these late fees in my opinion.


What about cmp 08 ?
