A user applied for GST number cancellation after filing their quarterly GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B returns. The officer pointed out that the cancellation date was incorrect because the GSTIN was still active when the first quarter's returns were filed. The advice given is to set the cancellation date as 30th June 2023, to avoid the need to file returns for the second quarter, which would otherwise be required for just one day (1st July 2023).

Yes, The officer is correct. Bcoz, Your GSTIN still live at the time of filing 1st quarter return. So, You can't use the 1St day of July...

You update with date of Cancellation with 30th June 2023, because as rightly pointed out by Expert. if you select date of cancellation as 01/07/2023 then for just 1 day i.e. 01/07/2023 of 2nd Quarter you will have to file return.
