What is the Penalty for Failing to Comply with GST?

 Failure to comply with GST regulations can result in significant penalties and consequences for businesses. When entities fail to file GST returns on time, they can face severe penalties, including the attachment of their bank accounts. The penalty for non-compliance involves a daily fine of Rs. 100, along with an additional penalty of Rs. 200 for any delayed payments, with a maximum penalty cap of Rs. 5,000.GST

In addition to these penalties, businesses are also liable to pay interest at a rate of 18% on the outstanding tax amount. This interest is calculated by the taxpayer on the tax amount that is due.
