Late fee waiver for annual GST returns: submit required GSTR-9C by the specified deadline to limit late fees.
Notification No. 8/2025-C.T. waives excess late fee for certain registered persons who furnish FORM GSTR-9C along with outstanding FORM GSTR-9 by 31 March 2025, with no refund of late fee already paid; Circular No.246/03/25-GST provides further guidance on GSTR-9 and GSTR-9C. GSTR-9 remains optional where aggregate turnover falls below the statutory threshold, otherwise late fee liability applies for delayed filing. (AI Summary)
