User couldn't file Nil GSTR-3B due to small auto-populated ITC despite no transactions. Advised to file non-Nil return, keep ITC in Table 4, report zero sales, and proceed. Issue resolved and return successfully filed.

17 March 2026 I file nil return as I don't have any transitions related to GST. This time for February 2026 I can see some entry coming under eligible ITC Central Tax Rs 26.25 and State/UT Tax Rs 26.25. I have not done any sale or purchase. Which is not letting me file nil return. Please suggest wayforward.

17 March 2026 You cannot file a "Nil" return because small credits (likely bank charges) are auto-populated in your GSTR-2B. To file, select "No" to the Nil filing question, leave the auto-populated ITC as is in Table 4, and file the return with zero sales in Table 3.1. This will simply move that small credit into your GST ledger for future use.
