I was filing GST 3B return for my proprietary firm of professional Services. Firstly, I was unable to understand the formalities of filing returns, and while reading updated news which I interpreted as quarterly filing of form 3B. While filing return from Oct 17 to March 2018 as montly return. I ended up paying penalty of INR 30K which is very huge and exorbitant considering the newness of law and understanding of the same by layman as well as practising professionals which took them almost 6 months to understand.
Under the circumstance I request government to give amnesty from paying penalty atleast for one otherwise it is deterrent for honest tax payers.
The above situation has really changed my opinion on the ruling government and even while filing people were just trying to say it is Modi tax and consider same as donation to central government.
My question is you have introduced some new law but give some time for the people to digest new formalities rather than imposing heavy penalty which is nothing but trying to create business practising CAs and lawyers who are all charging exorbitant from small businesses,
