You have not mentioned which STATE VAT Act. You must have submitted NIL return for the entire period.
Now, you have to submit reply to notice stating that you have discontinued the business without any transaction. And therefore to drop the proposal of levying best judgment proceedings. Is there annual return formality in your State VAT Act? If so, with the permission of your jurisdictional vat authority, try to file a nil annual return.
You have to submit another letter seeking cancellation of RC registered by you, at least now.
