Hi, I have facing issues in gst submission because of bank current account freeze. Now, I can't proceed further. There is 10 days only time to last 6 month gst submission, otherwise gst number would be cancelled. No more option to open new account because of my gst suspension. What can I do ?

To resolve the issue with your frozen bank account and pending GST submission, consider the following steps: Immediate Action -

*Contact GST Authorities*: Reach out to the GST help desk or authorities to understand the reason behind the account freeze and the suspension of your GST registration. -

*File GST Returns*: Prioritize filing your pending GST returns to avoid cancellation of your GST number.¹ Defreezing Bank Account -

*Approach the Jurisdictional Officer*: You can appeal to the jurisdictional officer to defreeze your bank account, providing necessary documentation and explanations for the delay in filing GST returns. -

*High Court Intervention*: If needed, approach the High Court, as seen in cases like M/s Krishna Fashion and M/s Vikas Enterprises vs. Commissioner of Central Tax, where the court directed the GST authority to defreeze bank accounts upon furnishing relevant documents. Payment and Resolution -

*Pay Pending Dues*: Pay the pending tax dues or make arrangements to pay them in installments, as seen in the case of NS Rathinam and Sons, where the Madras High Court directed the GST department to defreeze the bank account upon payment of the first installment of tax portion. -

*Seek Professional Help*: Consider consulting a tax professional or lawyer to guide you through the process and ensure compliance with GST regulations.⁴ Preventing Future Issues -

*Regularly Review GST Regulations*: Stay updated on GST regulations and ensure timely filing of returns to avoid account freezes and registration cancellations.⁵ -

*Maintain Compliance*: Ensure all GST payments and filings are up-to-date to prevent provisional attachment of assets under Section 83 of the CGST Act.
