GST Calendar of Return Filing Due Dates in June 2020
The government announces GST return filing due dates from time to time in order to maintain taxation in line with respective clearance. Also, the main effort is to alert the taxpayers regarding the GST return filing due dates is to make them neglect any penalty or interest.

Interest on Late GST Payment and Penalty on Missing GST Return Due Dates
The GST Council has decided to levy interest of 18 percent on the late payment of taxes under the GST regime. The interest would be levied for the days for which tax was not paid after the due date. You can read more details of the GST penalty provision in chapter 10, part 50 at this link https://cbec-gst.gov.in/CGST-bill-e.html
Let’s understand this by an example: If the total tax liability of a person is Rs. 1,000 and doesn’t pay tax continuously for a few days after the due date, then the interest amount will be calculated as 1000*18/100*1/365= Rs. 0.49 per day at approx. So, the person will have to pay this much interest each day after the due date.
In case if a taxpayer does not file his/her return within the due dates mentioned above, he shall have to pay a late fee of Rs. 50/day i.e. Rs. 25 per day in each CGST and SGST (in case of any tax liability) and Rs. 20/day i.e. Rs. 10/- day in each CGST and SGST (in case of Nil tax liability) subject to a maximum of Rs. 5000/-, from the due date to the date when GST forms, GSTR 1 GSTR 3B GSTR 4 GSTR 5 GSTR 6 GSTR 9 are actually filed.
