Section 47 Late Fee & Section 50 Interest Math

As of September 30, 2026, late fees under Section 47 are automatically populated in the GSTR-3B of the subsequent tax period. Section 50 interest must be self-assessed and paid by the taxpayer; failure to deposit interest leads to recovery notices under Section 73/74.

Official Calculation Equation & Logic
Late Fee = Delay Days × Daily Rate (Subject to Cap) | Interest = (Net Cash Tax × 18% × Days) ÷ 365

Following the retrospective amendment to Section 50(1), interest is payable only on that portion of the tax which is paid by debiting the electronic cash ledger (Cash portion), not on the tax discharged through Input Tax Credit (ITC).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Is interest under Section 50 charged on gross tax or net cash tax?

Interest under Section 50(1) is charged strictly on the NET tax paid in cash through the electronic cash ledger. No interest is payable on tax discharged through Input Tax Credit (ITC) balance.

What is the maximum late fee cap for Nil GST returns?

For Nil tax liability returns, the late fee is ₹20 per day (₹10 CGST + ₹10 SGST), capped at a maximum of ₹500 per return.

What is the interest rate on delayed payment of GST?

The statutory interest rate is 18% per annum under Section 50(1). However, if Input Tax Credit is wrongly availed and utilized, interest is charged at 24% per annum under Section 50(3).
