INTEREST ON LATE PAYMENT OF GST, Goods and Services Tax - GST

[Preeti Sharma]

Hello Experts,

We paid GST For Oct Month on Nov 22 with late fee but did not pay interest on late payment. What are the consequences of non payment of interest on late payment of GST. Can we pay now that interest? If we pay now, then it shall be levied @ 18% p.a. for only 2 days? or more than that as there is a delay in paying Interest.

You can pay interest now. It has to be paid may be even one day.

We paid ₹ 83170/- tax for the m/o of Oct on Nov 22. Now after 1 month, if we pay Interest then it shall be levied only for 2 days. Right?

Intt = 83170*18%*2/365= ₹ 82/-

Am I right?
