Vijay's private limited company, despite having no transactions, has pending GST returns since April 2020. He is seeking advice on how to file these nil returns and whether penalties apply. While initially advised that nil returns don't incur late fees, the portal now indicates a late fee is required for filing. Vijay is asking for further guidance on this issue.

Dear Experts, I am having a private limited company registered. Although there is no transaction in the previous year and not even till today. My accountant has only filled the Form 3B & Form 1 till March 2020. He has not yet filled the returns since April 2020 till date. I only came the know about the same when i got email reminder from the department. Please advise for the suitable way to file the returns. Regards / Vijay
