For belated filing of GST annual returns made before the cut-off date under the amnesty notifications, the late fee under s.47 was held to be in the nature of a penal levy, and the notifications issued under s.128 required extension of the capped late fee benefit to all eligible filers; consequently, no late fee could be demanded beyond Rs.10,000 under each GST enactment.

Petition allowed. - HC
