AI Summary

Taxpayer Faces 60,000 Late Fee for GSTR-9 FY 2018-19; No System Prompt, Compliance Mandatory Per Act A taxable entity filed GSTR-9 for FY 2018-19 late, but the GSTN system did not prompt for a late fee during filing. The tax department later issued a notice for a late fee of 60,000. Contributors in the discussion clarified that late fees are mandatory and must be paid unless waived by the government. There is no limitation period for demanding late fees, and compliance with the Act is required. A demand notice is necessary for any unpaid amount. Contesting the fee is possible if other demands exist, but may not be worthwhile for 60,000 alone.
