GST filling

We have a income from immovable property where rental income is less than 20lac. In earlier stage when moving to GST from VAT someone at dept suggested to move now than apply for cancellation. after moving to GST they refused cancellation but told us that you need not to file GST as you are below 20 lac. now when rules are getting more clear they are now saying you need to file GST with nil otherwise you will be penalised. Now where is our fault rule is not clear to most of the CA and the people working in GST dept. what will be the way to get rid of GST penalty as we did not file any return till i am writing this query.

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses the confusion surrounding GST filing for businesses with rental income below 20 lakh. Initially advised to register for GST upon migration from VAT, the user was later told they didn't need to file returns. Now, they face potential penalties for not filing nil returns. The consensus suggests that even with a low turnover, an active GST registration requires filing nil returns. While late fees may apply for missed filings, the registration can be cancelled afterwards. The advice is to file all outstanding nil returns, pay any applicable late fees, and then proceed with cancelling the GST registration to avoid further penalties.

If you're turnover is less than 20lac with proof
@ Mr Deepanshu.,

As per Your query No way for filling without late fee. Go to file with late fee and clear all returns up-to the date. After that cancel Your registration.


***Can You give reference for "rule is not clear"...?

**This mail i received when i requested to cancel gst post migration from VAT to GST

and yes Mr Raja PM rules are either not clear or they trapping people to make mistakes.... but no one clearing the doubts.
You may cancel the registration if your turnover is below 20lac
If turnover is less than 20lacs there is no requirements for registration under GST, But If Your GST registration is active you have to file return even nil return also...
and cancellation process revoke earlier, now there is no any restriction,
you first file all return as late fees is waive off...
then apply for application for cancellation of registration
