Late fee applicability for delayed GST annual filing: fee runs until the complete return including reconciliation statement is filed.
Late fee under section 47 applies to delay in furnishing the complete annual return under section 44, comprising FORM GSTR-9 and, where required by threshold, FORM GSTR-9C. The annual return is incomplete if a required FORM GSTR-9C is not filed with FORM GSTR-9. Late fee is computed from the due date until the date the complete annual return is furnished and is not leviable separately for delayed furnishing of each form. A specified waiver covers excess late fee for certain years if FORM GSTR-9C is filed by the prescribed cutoff, with no refunds for fees already paid.

GST on penal charges: penal charges by regulated entities are not subject to GST; sectoral exemptions and regularizations follow.
Penal charges levied by Regulated Entities in compliance with RBI directions are treated as charges for breach of contract and not consideration; hence no GST is payable on such penal charges. RBI regulated Payment Aggregators that handle settlement into escrow qualify as "acquiring bank" for the exemption on settlement of amounts up to two thousand rupees per card transaction, limited to settlement functions; Payment Gateways are excluded. Various historical GST liabilities on specified services by government research providers, skilling training partners, renting to composition taxpayers, electricity ancillary services, and cultural institutes are regularized on an "as is where is" basis for identified intervening periods.
