The CBIC clarified that late fee under section 47(2) of the CGST Act applies to delayed filing of complete annual returns under section 44, which includes both FORM GSTR-9 and GSTR-9C (where required). Late fee is calculated from the due date until the complete return is furnished. For taxpayers with aggregate turnover exceeding the threshold (5 crore post-August 2021), annual return filing is incomplete without GSTR-9C. Per Notification No. 08/2025-Central Tax, excess late fee for financial years up to FY 2022-23 is waived if GSTR-9C is filed by March 31, 2025, with no additional fee beyond what was payable up to the GSTR-9 filing date. No refunds are available for late fees already paid.
