Legal clarification issued by tax authorities regarding late fee applicability for delayed submission of FORM GSTR-9C. The circular establishes that late fees under section 47 of CGST Act are leviable for incomplete annual return filing, specifically when FORM GSTR-9C is mandatorily required but not submitted alongside FORM GSTR-9. Late fees will be calculated from the original due date until complete return submission. For financial years up to 2022-23, late fees for delayed FORM GSTR-9C submission are waived if filed by 31st March 2025, with no additional penalties beyond original late fee calculation period.
