Late GSTR-3B filing with late fee and interest

Compliance Pack

Late GSTR-3B filing with late fee and interest

What this means, checked by a CA

If you missed GSTR-3B, every day costs a late fee and unpaid tax runs up 18 percent interest. Returns must be filed in order, and after three years they cannot be filed at all. We file the pending returns oldest first, work out the exact late fee and interest, and stop the clock.

As needed, + 18% GST

  • Delivered in 2 working days after data for each period
  • Due: Any time after the due date, but not more than three years after the due date of that return (portal block from the July 2025 period)

How we do it: IDFD

Every case runs through the same four steps: Information, Discussion, Forms, Deliverables. You see each one ticked as it happens.

InformationWhat we need from you · 6 items
  1. List of pending return periods

    Must be filed oldest first

  2. Sales register for each period

    Liability, now locked to GSTR-1

  3. Purchase invoices and GSTR-2B

    ITC claim for each period

  4. Previous year aggregate turnover

    Decides the late fee cap

  5. Electronic cash ledger balance and dates

    Reduces interest under Rule 88B

  6. GSTR-1 filing status

    Liability flows from GSTR-1 or 1A

DiscussionWhat we discuss · 5 items
  1. Which months are pending and are any close to three years old?

    Time-barred returns cannot be filed

  2. Was there any sale or ITC in each pending month?

    Nil returns have a lower fee and cap

  3. Is GSTR-1 filed for those months and is it correct?

    3B liability is locked to it; fix in GSTR-1A first

  4. Was cash already lying in the cash ledger on the due date?

    That portion escapes interest

  5. Is the registration cancelled or suspended?

    May need revocation or GSTR-10 route
