The amount of the penalty may depend on factors such as the length of the delay, the jurisdiction's regulations, and any previous violations. Additionally, the late filing of a contract may also result in reputational damage or potential legal action by the other party involved in the contract. It is advisable to consult legal counsel or the relevant regulatory authority to determine the specific penalties in a particular jurisdiction.
