Yes, you can your registration online, the facility is recently started in GST portal
if you registered voluntarily than there is no option to go back (i.e. cancelation) upto 1 year from effective date of registration.
[ Sec. 29(1)(c) read with rule 20 of registration ]
Also if you are a registered person than you have to file return periodically otherwise you have to pay penalty.

Mr. Sumit saraswat sir,

am agree with your contention, but the proviso to aforesaid rule is ommitted by Notification No. 3/2018 – Central Tax dated 23-01-2018. So inview of aforesaid ammendement, i here by opinion that, we can cancel the registration by filing GST REG-16.

Thanks to all.

now u can cancel the registration if taken as voluntary registration 

Thanks a lot for updating me @ Vamsi krishna

My pleasure @ Mr. Sumit Saraawat Sir.

Form GST REG 16 is now available for the cancellation of GST registration.
So now, the voluntary taxpayer (who have registered after 1st July 2017) will not have to wait for 1 Year for cancellation of their registration.
