Estimate the late fee and interest for a delayed GST return. The calculator uses the standard per-day fee of Rs 50 (Rs 20 for nil returns) and 18% yearly interest, and lets you change both. Always confirm caps and exemptions for your turnover on the GST portal or with your CA.
Things to remember
- Late fee runs from the day after the due date until the day you file.
- Caps and relief schemes differ by turnover and by period; check the latest notification.
- Interest applies to the tax that is paid late, not to the late fee.
