Quick Summary

A taxpayer has one active and one inactive GST number under the same PAN within the same state. The inactive number hasn't filed returns since July 2017. The user is concerned if this inactive registration could cause future problems for the active one. The consensus is that the inactive number itself won't directly affect the active one, but it's advisable to file pending returns and formally cancel the inactive registration to avoid potential late fees and complications.

Don't worry, it'll not create any future problem and there is no any action required from your side.

As per GST rules, only one Registration (PAN based ) per State will be provided. Then how it happened the second one?

A person can take as much as he wants in a state based upon nature of his business. There is no such rule.

@ Mr Siva Raj.,

As per Your query Problem can't be created to another one GSTIN.
But, The cancelled gstin is problem itself. It's make huge late fee. So, better to file all pending returns and close Yourself for the gstin which is inactive.
