Whether gst is to be paid on unrealized rent

 One of my client let out the promises for commercial purpose in May 2018, just received rent for 2 months and tenant not paid later due to financial crisis,  although tenant paid rent for 2 months for May 2018 and June 2018, our client paid GST till September, 2018 and from October 2018, filed NIL returns, also not issued tax Invoices from October,  2019. Further, sent a lawyer notice to tenant,  now I would like to know,  whether filing of NIL is correct as rent is not received. Since,  GST is on accrual basis.

Can anyone clarify me this
