SCN -FORM GST REG-17- Rule 22(1)

Dear Sir/ma'am,
We received SCN on 10/5/19 for cancellation of registration ..we furnished all the pending return and made full payment of the tax along with interest and late fees on 11/5/19.

But as the date of online reply has already been passed.. do we need to submit hardcopy of the returns filed?

does Rule 22(4) exempt you from replying to the notice if proper returns have been filed in time ?
