Late filing

Return filing is mandatory under GST. Even if there is no transaction, you must file a Nil return.
▪ You cannot file a return if you do not file previous month/quarter’s return.
▪ Hence, late filing of GST return will have a cascading effect leading to heavy fines and penalty.
▪ The late filing fee of the GSTR-1 is populated in the liability ledger of GSTR-3B filed immediately after such delay.
