Dear Respected Sir's
My query is Due date for Filling GSTR 3B from July 2017 to Sept 2018 is March 31 2019 as per GST portal is shown when we filled the GSTR 3B return. So the question is why we need to calculate 20th of next month for interest calculation , When due date as per GST is 31st march then we could calculate and pay the interest ,
The GST dept is not acting as per there due date's ,
Interest on Late GST Payment: Filing Extension to March 31, 2019, Doesn't Affect Interest Calculation Based on Original Due Dates. A query was raised regarding the due date for filing GSTR 3B returns from July 2017 to September 2018, which was shown as March 31, 2019, on the GST portal. The question was about why interest calculations should be based on the 20th of the next month when the due date is March 31. The response clarified that the extension was only for filing the return, not for late tax payment. Filing returns and tax payment are separate obligations, and the government has issued notices for interest recovery under Section 50 by invoking Section 79. (AI Summary)
