A New York registrant pays its 2026 assessment after the due date. What statutory late fee applies?

Correct Answer

A) A late fee of $100 is payable in addition

If the registrant fails to pay the charged assessment by the date due, the registrant shall be required to pay, in addition, a late fee in the amount of one hundred dollars. Other choices: the statute names a fixed fee rather than a rate; it is $100 rather than $500; and the fee sits alongside the expiration rule. Source: N.Y. Banking Law § 592-a(1)

Answer Options
A
A late fee of $100 is payable in addition
B
No late fee: the expiration is the consequence provided
C
A late fee of $500 is payable in addition
D
Interest accrues on the unpaid amount at the rate the superintendent sets by regulation for overdue assessments of this kind
