Notice u/s. 46 for default in filing returns.

An assessee is in receipt of notice u/s.46 in form 3A for default in filing GST returns (and payment of tax) from November 2021.

The asseessee is financial problems due to non-receipts from his parties against sales made in November and onward. Due to this, tax cannot be paid and hence even returns are pending.

What recourse the assessee can take in such situation? What remedy is available? If the assessee's failure continues, his registration might get cancelled.

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses an assessee who has received a notice under Section 46 for failing to file GST returns and pay tax since November 2021, due to financial difficulties. The assessee is seeking recourse and remedies, as continued failure could lead to registration cancellation. Filing returns with pending tax and interest is suggested, but filing the current return is blocked by the pending previous return and unpaid tax liability.

File return
and later on pay tax with interest
Already tried that but could not upload R-1 as the previous return i.e. November returns are pending. R-3B cannot be filed if there is unpaid tax liability.
