Any way to avoid penality due to non filing of Nil or Regular return?

A client of mine did Gst registration 6 months ago and being someone who does not know much about indirect tax laws . He continued doing his job . He isn't a retailer or wholesaler although he bought a Gst certificate bcz he plans on going for his own bussiness. Now the problem is He hasn't filed any nil or regular gst return and the penality has arrived too much.. Is there any Way to sort this out?

yes apply for cancellation of GST no. with effect from date of registration in some case they do allow and you can avoid penalty payments
No its will not get cancelled untill you file all your returns
Inorder to surrender your GST Registration Number, you have to file all your pending GST Return's ( GSTR 1 , GSTR 3B ) and clear off all liabilities with the GST Departments.

Only then you can proceed for Cancellation of GST Registration Number.

You have to file all your pending Returns ( if any ) and clear off all Liabilities with the GST Department before proceeding for Cancellation of your GST Registration Number.

Refer SECTION 29 of CGST Act 2017 for more information.
