A user's GSTN was cancelled two years ago due to non-filing of returns. They are seeking help to reactivate it. While the standard procedure involves requesting revocation within 30 days, which has long passed, the user is now being advised by an officer to reactivate the old registration instead of proceeding with a new one. This situation is likely due to a specific notification regarding new GST registrations after cancellation, and the user is seeking guidance on how to address the officer's insistence.

not much to be done now as you need to request for revocation of cancellation within 30 days of cancellation. though you can file an appeal too. But you need to justify the delay in filing of appeal. Better to apply new registration now.

I think this is because of this notification https://www.indiafilings.com/learn/new-gst-registration-after-cancellation/ If the office insists of cancellation of revocation, ask him for the solution for the same.
