Dvat cancelled due to filing nil returns

The DVAT was registered on 28 march 2013. Being a start up the company did not have any sales and hence nil return was filled for two quarters of 2013-14. It is likely to be nil for sometime. 

A show cause notice was given in the dvat website for filing nil returns for at least one year. The notice was not send by post nor any e-mail or communication was send. As per notice dealers had to appear by Dec 30 2013 for explanation. Subsequently notice was given in form of excel sheet in their website notifying cancellation of registeration. This notice is not there in dealer log-in portal.

However status as per dealers is being shown as registered. In the cancelled dealership the dealers name is being shown.

What are the steps the dealer can take in order to file an appeal or get registeration restored?
