A client's GST registration expired and subsequent applications were rejected. After a successful reapplication, the effective date was set as the grant date. The query explores if the effective date can be backdated to the original date of liability. According to Rule 10, backdating is possible only if the application is made within 30 days of becoming liable; otherwise, the effective date is the grant date.

No... It's can't be taken from 15th May-20. It should be effective date from 14th July-20 only. Inward related activities can be from 14th. But sales activities from 16th...

Under Rule 10, registration takes effect from the date of liability only if applied for within 30 days of becoming liable; otherwise it is effective from the date of grant, so here it is 16 Jul 2020, not the reapplication date of 14 Jul.
