FAQ :

Key reasons include not exceeding the GST threshold limit, discontinuing or closing the business, changes in the business model due to merger or amalgamation, or voluntary surrender.

You will need a written application stating the reason for surrender, copies of the GST Registration Certificate, details of stocks held (inputs and capital goods) with tax invoices, and the latest receipt of tax paid.

Log in to the GST Portal, navigate to 'Services', then 'Amendments', and select 'Surrender GST Registration'. Fill in the required information, attach documents, and submit with verification.

The GST authority may cancel a registration if returns are not filed for a period, there's a violation of GST regulations, or fraudulent activities are detected during audits.

Once cancelled, you will no longer be able to collect GST from your customers or claim Input Tax Credits (ITC).
