Quick Summary
If your GST registration was cancelled, you generally cannot reactivate your old GSTIN. The consensus is that you will need to apply for a new GSTIN. While direct reactivation isn't typically possible, the GST portal does offer an option for 'revocation of cancelled registration' which might be applicable in certain circumstances. You'll need your PAN, email, and mobile number to initiate this process.

When was your GSTIN cancelled?
Dec 2017 cancellation date is same as registration date
You cannot re activate your old gst number, you can apply new one

Access the GST Portal at www.gst.gov.in. In order to enter into the account, enter the username and appropriate password. In the GST Dashboard, select services, under services select registration and further under registration select application for revocation of cancelled registration option.

  1. First of all, you would need your email id, PAN number, and mobile number to fill the GST REG 01 form and submit.
  2. Now verify the email id and mobile number. ...
  3. You will receive an application reference number (ARN) in your mobile number once the verification complete.
