GST Late Fee Waiver for Unemployed No Income Groups

I have a friend who is unemployed for 2 years now. In Nov 2017 he registered for GSTIN. He did not pursue that business opportunity. NIL.

The officer canceled his GST account in Mar 2019 due to non-filing of returns.

He received a mail in Feb 2020 to file returns for months Nov '17 to April '19) with late fee. Being unemployed for two years he has not generated any income and is unable to pay even the late fee that will be charged. 

Is there a provision for unemployed no income groups so as to give them some sort of relief?

Thanks!

Quick Summary
This discussion explores the possibility of a GST late fee waiver for individuals who are unemployed and have no income. The original poster's friend registered for GST in 2017 but never filed returns, leading to cancellation and a demand for late fees. The query seeks information on any provisions or relief measures available for those in similar financial hardship.

Contact Your (friend) circle officer...
Official relief was given few weeks back to file past GST returns with deadline and it got over.
