The Finance Minister had announced various relaxations on 24th
March, 2020 for the compliances under GST laws. The CBIC issued multiple
Notifications dated 3 April 2020, to give effect to those relaxations. We have
tried to summarise some of the important notifications:
Relaxation in Interest Rates
& Waiver of late fees
A registered person can avail
benefit of Nil or reduced rate of interest and Nil late filing fees by filing
GSTR 3B and GSTR 1 for the period February 2020 to April 2020 with prescribed
time limits.
The due dates for furnishing
FORM GSTR- 3B for the months of February, March and April, 2020 has not been extended
through any of the
notifications, only
relief has been provided for interest and late fee.
Hence, if returns and payments are not done within prescribed time
limits, the registered person will be liable to pay full interest and late fees
which shall be computed from the actual date of filing of return.
