Quick Summary

If you've discontinued your business and wish to surrender your GST registration, but have unutilised Input Tax Credit (ITC), you can proceed. While you can surrender the registration, you'll need to file a final return (GSTR-10) within 90 days of cancellation approval to account for the unused ITC. There should be no objection from the department regarding the cancellation itself.

03 June 2022 Hi,
Because you have not made any sale of raw material purchased, you have to reverse the input credit availed on raw material. At the time of filling of surrender application, you can reverse it.

03 June 2022 You can surrender. At the time of filing of cancellation application you can also reverse the ITC. But now since Interest is only after utilisation whether you reverse ITC or not doesn't matter. You can straightway cancel with or without reversing ITC - your choice. No adverse implication in any of them.
