If the last financial year turnover was 60lacs (i.e more than 50lacs) can the dealer still opt for composition scheme under the GST regime from July 1, 17 onwards ?

Would the answer to the above query be different if instead of converting the old Tin No. to GSTN, the dealer files for a fresh registration under composition and the old regn is put for cancellation (Firm name, Prop and PAN remains same.)
