Quick Summary
This discussion addresses whether a newly GST-registered clearing and forwarding (C&F) agent, receiving commission without issuing invoices or charging GST, needs to file GST returns. The consensus is that once registered, filing is mandatory, even if it's a nil return, to avoid daily penalties. The agent should also be charging and accounting for GST on their services.

Once you take GST registration you need to file your GST return otherwise penalty of Rs. 50 per day leviable.

Also 18% GST required to charge in invoice.
