You don't have to pay GST is you have not made any supply in the month but if you have not filed return on due date then you have to pay Rs.50 per day maximum Rs.10000
If you have not commenced your business and not made any supply of goods or services, then you are not required to pay any type of GST.

But since you have taken GST Registration, you have to file all your GST Returns timely even if no supply is made i.e. NIL RETURN.

Filing GST Return under GST Regime is mandatory.

Hence you have to file all your pending Returns/Statements with applicable late fees.

LATE FEES :

For NIL RETURN :- Rs. 20 per day till the default continues subjected to a maximum of Rs. 10,000.

For Retuy with Tax Liability :- Rs.50 per day till the default continues subjected to a maximum of Rs.10,000/-

Regards.
