The loopholes within the GST are already troubling the traders. Now the govt has made a system of penalty for not filing the GST returns in time. Thanks to this, the matter of traders may increase further. Fines are going to be imposed on traders who don’t file GSTR 9 and GSTR 9C returns for the fiscal year 2019-20. Merchants also will be charged late fees for filing returns.

December 31, 2020, was the last date to file GST returns for the fiscal year 2019-20 but it had been extended for 2 months thanks to Corona.
