Quick Summary
This discussion addresses a sole proprietor encountering errors while attempting to file their GST Annual Return for the 2018-2019 financial year, despite having filed nil returns monthly. It clarifies that for taxpayers with a turnover below ₹2 crore, filing the GST Annual Return (GSTR-9) for FY 2017-18 and FY 2018-19 is optional, not mandatory. While the specific error couldn't be diagnosed without the attachment, the advice is to ensure all monthly nil returns were correctly filed.

Under GST, All regular registered Tax payers must file Annual Returns in FORM GSTR9. It is mandatory.
Dear Venkatesan
As per Notification Notification 47/2019 CT , the Taxpayer whose turnover is below 2Crore are not mandatory require file Annual Return for Fy 2017-18 & Fy 2018-19.
So it's optional for you.

Iam unable open the file attached.
but kindly check whether all your nil return has been filed for the Fy .

It is mandatory to file annual return  for FY 2017 -18 & FY 2018-19

Agree with Mr. Pankaj, persons have turnover below Rs.2 crore - annual return is optional. Persons having turnover less than Rs. 5 crore - GSTR 9C (audit) not mandatory.  

Taxpayer whose turnover is below 5Crore is not mandatory to file Annual Return for Fy 2017-18 & Fy 2018-19. So it's optional for you.
