Quick Summary
This discussion addresses the process of cancelling GST registration after the proprietor's death. It advises legal heirs on how to proceed with cancellation, even if returns were filed under the deceased's name after their passing. The recommended approach involves applying for cancellation citing the proprietor's death and potentially transferring the business to a new GSTN.
First of all , in such situation the legal hier are bound to bring it to the notice of department. any way file the cancellation on reason death of proprietor & if any SCN is issue in this regard need clarify by giving the valid reason for not informing the department in this case
