ITR Required if no income?

I have had no income since FY 2016-17. ITR for FY 2017-18 was e-filed showing zero income. No ITR was filed for FY 2018-19.

IT Department has sent reminder to file for FY2018-19 (AY2019-20) latest by 31 March 2020.

Is it required to file even if no income? Can I ignore the reminder?

If I must file is there a penalty for filing late?

 

Thank you.
