### 2. **Review Your Filing History:**
- Double-check your GST return filings during the period in question, particularly for the time when you were under the Composition Scheme and then switched back to Regular Scheme. Ensure that all returns (both quarterly for Composition and monthly for Regular) were filed accurately.

- You can provide your explanation or clarification regarding the defaults mentioned. Attach any supporting documents if necessary.

### 6. **File Any Pending Returns:**
- If there are any pending returns that you missed during the Composition period, file them immediately. Go to the “Returns” tab and choose the relevant return type to file.

### 7. **Contact GST Helpdesk:**
- If you’re unsure about the details or need assistance, you can contact the GST helpdesk. They can be reached through:

### 8. **Consult a GST Practitioner:**

### Additional Steps:
