Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the Penalty Calculator.
How are penalties calculated?
We use the latest government-published penalty rates for each compliance type. GST late fees are calculated at Rs. 50/day (Rs. 25 CGST + Rs. 25 SGST), TDS at Rs. 200/day for return filing, and MCA at Rs. 100/day for annual returns. Interest is calculated separately based on the tax amount due and the applicable interest rate.
Does it show late fee, interest, and penalty separately?
Yes. Each compliance has a detailed breakdown showing three components separately: (1) Late filing fee -- the per-day or fixed charge for filing late, (2) Interest -- calculated on the tax amount at the prescribed rate, and (3) Penalty -- additional charges that may apply in certain cases. This helps you understand exactly what each delay costs.
Are the rates updated automatically?
Yes, penalty rates are synced with the latest government notifications. When CBIC, CBDT, or MCA update their penalty structures, our system reflects the changes immediately. You always see calculations based on the most current rules.
What is the difference between fee, interest, and penalty?
Late fee is a fixed charge for filing a return after the due date (e.g., Rs. 50/day for GST). Interest is calculated as a percentage on the unpaid tax amount (e.g., 18% p.a. for GST). Penalty is an additional charge imposed for non-compliance, often for repeated defaults or specific violations (e.g., Section 271H for TDS). All three can apply simultaneously.
Can I export penalty estimates?
Yes. You can export penalty calculations as PDF reports or Excel sheets. These are useful for board reporting, auditor discussions, or internal budgeting. The exports include compliance name, days overdue, per-day cost, cumulative penalty, and recommended priority for filing.
