Sir,

How to fill the details in GSTR 3B  in Table 5 - Values of exempt, nil-rated and non-GST inward supplies in the following cases ( All purchases are Intra - state ) :

1. Exempted goods purchased from Un Registered dealer

2. Exempted goods purchased from Composition dealer

3. Exempted goods purchased from Registered dealer

4. Taxable goods purchased from Composition dealer

5. Taxable goods purchased from Un Registered  dealer

Can we consolidate the value if we have purchases under various categories mention above for a single month ? Please advice.

Table 5 in GSTR-3B is for interest and late fees on delayed filing.

Interest (Table 5.1):
- Rate: 18% per annum on unpaid net tax liability
- Calculation: (Net tax payable) x 18% x (number of days delayed) / 365
- Only applies to TAX liability, not on ITC balance. If you have sufficient ITC to cover the liability, interest is zero even if you file late.
- The portal auto-calculates interest in most cases. If not, compute manually and enter.

Late fee (Table 5.1):
- GSTR-3B late fee: 50 per day (25 CGST + 25 SGST) for returns with liability, or 20 per day (10 CGST + 10 SGST) for nil returns
- Capped at 5,000 per return for GSTR-3B (post-notification waiver)
- GSTR-1 late fee is separate (also 50 per day, capped at 10,000)

Important: The portal calculates late fee automatically in most cases. If the auto-calculated amount differs from what you expect, check whether there was a fee waiver notification for the relevant period (several GST Council-notified waivers have reduced caps over the years).
