Client Faces GST Portal Error Due to Unfiled Returns; Must File NIL Returns to Surrender Registration, Late Fees Waived. A client registered for GST to sell goods on Amazon but had no sales last year and did not file the required GSTR-3B and GSTR-1 returns. Now, while attempting to surrender the GST registration, the portal shows an error due to unfiled GSTR-3B and calculates significant penalties. The response suggests that even NIL returns must be filed, and the late fee is waived. The client should file the pending returns to proceed with the surrender of the registration. (AI Summary)
