Ignore it for now. If any notice come in future then take any action. Hopefully since your turnover was nil. You will not going to receive any notice.

You can file your final return upto 30 June 2023, late fees will be 1000/-. as the gst amnesty scheme is applicable for now. after 30 June, late fees of Rs. 10000/- will be levied. as per my view, file the return by 30 june, otherwise wait for the notice.

Yes the Notice can be Issue U/s 62(1) & the time limit to issue notice is 3 years from the date specified u/s 44(Annual Return) for furnishing Annual Return In non fraud case & 5 years in fraud case .

So it's better to file your return.
