WHAT IS GST AMNESTY SCHEME 2021?
‘Amnesty’ means pardon (maafi nama). So the Govt. has finally given a pardon for a lot of penalties on filing delayed GST returns under the GST Amnesty Scheme 2021, the much awaited scheme was given a go ahead on 28th May 2021.
Under this Scheme the maximum late penalties for a GSTR 3B return will be reduced as follows:
| Tax Liability | Penalty Before 1st June 2021 | Penalty From 1st June 2021 to 31st August 2021 |
| Nil Return | Rs.5,000 per return | Rs.500 per return |
| Taxed Return | Rs.5,000 per return | Rs.1,000 per return |
That means, if you were unable to file GSTR-3B returns for prior-periods for any reason and the penalties were mounting up to the North, it maybe the right time to compete the filings as the penalties will have reduced by upto 90%. So if your penalty due as at date was Rs.1,00,000/-, you will have to pay maximum Rs.20,000/- only.
So why wait, just grab this opportunity till the time the scheme continues, i.e. 31st August 2021.
