Dear Experts,

We have a client engaged in the tattoo business in Bengaluru. We applied for cancellation of GST registration on 10th March 2026. The cancellation application appears to have been assigned to the State GST authorities; however, the jurisdiction details are not available in the application status & GST certification.

Since no clarification or notice has been received from the department, we waited for the cancellation to be processed. After more than three months, we approached the Central GST officer based on the jurisdiction mentioned in the GST Registration Certificate. However, the officer informed us that the cancellation application was not assigned to their office and they were unable to identify the concerned State GST jurisdiction.

I seek guidance on the following issues:

1. How can we identify the State GST jurisdiction/officer to whom the cancellation application has been assigned?
2. At the time of filing the cancellation application, all pending returns were filed except GSTR-3B for Q4 of FY 2019-20, which could not be filed due to the statutory time-bar restriction of three years. Could this pending return be the reason for the delay or non-processing of the cancellation application?
3. If the pending return is impacting the cancellation process, can we apply for unblocking/unbarring of the return filing facility to enable filing of the pending return?

Your guidance on this matter would be highly valuable in assisting our client.

Thanks in advance.

Respected Sir/Madam,

I seek your independent legal opinion regarding the functioning of a society registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1860 and the response received from the District Registrar & Inspector General of Societies.

Brief Facts:

A registered society has allegedly not renewed its registration and has not submitted statutory compliances from the year 2021 onwards.
It is further alleged that:
1. No audit of accounts has been conducted for several years;
2. No financial statements have been disclosed to members;
3. Donations and funds are being received and utilized without adequate transparency;
4. The society continues to function publicly and represent itself before Government authorities.

A formal complaint was submitted to the District Registrar & Inspector General of Societies by a member requesting inquiry into the affairs of the society, including its financial management and compliance status.

In response, the Registrar's office stated that since the society is "not renewed", the office has no authority to investigate or inquire into the affairs of the society.
The reply does not cite any specific provision of the Societies Registration Act, 1860, any State Rules, Government Notification, judicial precedent, or other legal authority supporting such conclusion.
