How to file NIL returns when there is no outward / inward invoice during a particular month. Currently the GST portal does not allow filing NIL returns since fileds like Invoice / Date / Amount needs to be filled with some value.

I ahve tried to fill in GSTR1 on GST portal with zero value but error pops up to fill in some value. Also the Invoice No and Date fields are mandatory. So please explain how it is possible. Is there technical error on the GST portal which is expected to be fixed??
