GST cancellation process


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
If you've registered for GST but haven't filed returns and wish to cancel, you'll need to file all outstanding returns first. Any penalties, interest, or late fees must be paid in cash, as they cannot be offset against input tax credit (ITC). Unused ITC will be forfeited, and you must file nil returns until the cancellation order is issued. It's also possible your registration has already been cancelled by the department due to non-filing.

29 August 2020 file you gst return, and after that you have to file for cancellation.
may possible you number already cancel by deptt. due to non filing of return.
fine penality to be paid in cash by you, its not adj with input credit.

29 August 2020 You need to file GST returns, the applicable interest and late filling fees will be applied which needs to be paid in cash. Whatever ITC you have can be claimed and un-adjusted ITC will be lost. Post this you can file for cancellation. In case of no business / outward supplies, you will have to file NIL returns till the date of cancellation Order.
