Which gst return to file for zero turnover (no activity ) e-commerce seller registration

My wife registered for GSTIN number (August 2017)with a plan to sell some hand made hobby items (artificial jewellery). This was a mandatory requirement to open selling account with some e-commerce operator.  For personal situation this was not followed up further.

Since then she did not file any return. She got some email reminders which she overlooked/did not act on.

Now we want to close that GST registration number. How to proceed ? 

We understand from some online search that she need to file some NIL return. Can anybody tell which NIL return to be filed for the return and then close the registration.

Yes if you did not made any sale & purchase during this period even than you are liable file Nil Return . Hence first file all your return with penalty (Late filing return fee) than only able to surrender your GSTN

You need to file all pending GSTR-1 & GSTR-3B with NIL data along with penalty (will be applicable on some latest months ) and then you may file application on GST portal for surrender of GSTN.

Even you can file application for GSTN surrender without filing of returns (Not legally advisable)
