I am composition dealer I got late registration. My turnover exceeded threshold limit on 20.7.2017. Due to some of my mistakes, my application for registration went time barred 3 times and finally i got registration w.e.f. 15.12.2017. I am unable to file return for my unregistered period of 20.7.2017 to 15.12.2017. I have not filed (could not file) any return till date. On portal it accepts return from 15.12.2017 onwards. On asking to helpdesk they replied to file regular return but i am unable to get suitable chapter for regular return for composition dealer. I have paid credited tax upto 31.12.2017 in electronic ledger. How to file my returns upto 31.12.2017? please help.

As you have not registered under GST during that period you can't file regular return also. No need to worry file the return and pay taxes from the date of registration.
