Quick Summary
If you're a composition dealer surrendering your GST registration due to low turnover, you'll need to pay GST on your existing stock. This is calculated based on the input tax credit on inputs held in stock, or the output tax payable, whichever is higher. For those seeking GST refunds upon business closure, the process involves filing form RFD-01, with a decision typically made within 60 days. While refunds are generally credited directly, transferring them to a new entity might not be possible.

Yes, gst on input stock shall be paid to government
As per Section 29(5) of CGST Act, every registered person whose registration is cancelled shall pay an amount, by way of debit in the electronic credit ledger or electronic cash ledger, equivalent to the credit of input tax in respect of inputs held in stock and inputs contained in semi-finished or finished goods held in stock or capital goods or plant and machinery on the day immediately preceding the date of such cancellation or the output tax payable on such goods, whichever is higher, calculated in such manner as may be prescribed.
