GST Show Cause Notice for not filing GSTR3B for Nov 2022
1 year ago
I am a student and got my GSTIN in Oct22. I did not know how to file GSTR 3B and could not file it for Nov22(Nil return). Yesterday I got a show cause notice with a 50000/- penalty under sec125,127. I am just 2 months late. I saw that most penalties are fined after 6 months. I filed all GSTR till January yesterday and have filed the answer to the penalty. I can't pay the fine and will have to stop my studies if I do. I am very worried and can't get this out of my head. The GST mail says I have to furnish a reply or appear in GST office. Will I have to appear? Will I have to pay the penalty or can my case be considered? What else should I do?
A.First reply to show cause notice after filing 3b, this will be rectified automatically because since you have time to resolve.
As a GST registered person, it is important to comply with the GST rules and regulations, including filing the returns on time. Since you did not file your GSTR-3B for November 2022, you have received a show cause notice with a penalty of INR 50,000 under section 125 and 127 of the CGST Act.
Since you have filed the returns for subsequent months and have also replied to the show cause notice, the GST department will consider your case. In your reply, you should provide a valid reason for the delay in filing the return and explain that it was due to your lack of knowledge on the filing process.
It is important to note that the penalty amount can be reduced or waived off if the reason for the delay is found to be reasonable. Therefore, it is recommended that you provide a detailed explanation of the reasons for the delay and any supporting documents that can help your case.
If the GST department is satisfied with your explanation, they may consider waiving off the penalty or reducing it to a lesser amount. However, if they are not satisfied, they may ask you to appear before them to further explain your case.
It is important to cooperate with the GST department and provide all the necessary information and documents to help your case. It is also recommended that you seek the help of a tax professional or a GST practitioner to guide you through the process and provide you with the necessary support.
