It is possible that any pending tax payment is due that's why department send notice for non filing of return

As per Rule 21A of CGST , the registration is deemed to be suspended from day when cancellation of registration has been filed & in term of sub rule 3 such person is not required to furnished any return under section 39.
So in my view there might be reason for SCN :
1. supposing that you have file cancellation on 5/1/2021 then you are not required to file any return (u/s 39) from 5/1/2021 but for 1/1/2021 to 4/1/2021 you are liable to furnish the return.

2. Kindly check if you were the registered person then Required to Furnish Final return (GSTr 10) within 3 months. from date of cancellation.

3. SCN in term of Section 73 can be issued within 3 year from the due date of Annual Return & u/s 74 it is 5 years.

4 **In term of Section 29(3) cancellation of Registration shall not affect the liability of person to pay tax & other dues.

So in short visit to your Jurisdiction Circle with all your relevant documents & reply to SCN .

make login, check that all the returns are filed till date of application of registration.

If not filed, after filing all , write a reply to the notice mentioning that you have filed all the return till the date of applying for cancellation.
