A friend of mine has a proprietorship firm based in BLR suffering from personal and professional loss he couldn't cope or do business for the last two years.
He filed GSTR1 for the year 2019-20 and didn't file GSTR3B due to short funds and returns pending. Due to which his GST got cancelled and after personal follow up and online request to release for doing business got activated in November 2021. For the last two months, he is getting business but when he wants to submit bills, the clients are clearly asking for GSTR1 and GSTR3B filing up to date. He doesn't know what to do now.
He does not have an alternate income, needs to start earning through his manpower services but GST non-filing is a hindrance to pursue. Any suggestion or advice for him to keep his GST active to do business and earn? Is there a way to skip that year and file to NIL another period where he wasn't doing any business?
