02 October 2013 Every person, who ceases to provide taxable services, shall surrender his certificate of registration immediately to Superintendent of Central Excise. Temporary suspension of business or getting no business for the time being will not require surrendering of registration. No penalty had been prescribed for not surrendering the registration certificate on ceasing to provide taxable service.

Where a registered assesses transfer his business, the transferee shall have to obtain a fresh certificate of registration. Similarly conversion of individual membership into partnership firm or corporate membership and vice versa will also require fresh registration.
