Dear community of friends and expert,
Would appreciate if you would take some time to clarify my query.
I am a courier service provided registered under GST. I have filed all the GSTR3B filings up to present month and my dues are cleared. I have mentioned the total sale and GST collected on it and deposited the same, however, I have not filed GSTR 1 ( mentioning details of the individual receiver of services). Is there going to be any penalty if I file it now(as there is no payment option in GSTR1). I have already paid the collected GST.
From what i read, the penalty on delay in filing GSTR1 is collected at time of payment in GSTR3B, but GSTR3B has already been filed, there is no clarification anywhere regarding this situation.
What would be my best bet to avoid or minimise any penalty? Should I cancel my GST number and get a new one issued to avoid any problems?

The system as of now is letting file GSTR-1 without any penalty unlike GSTR-3B. Filing of GSTR-3B is different. You need not cancel your registration.
