First of all, before applying for registration you need to know that:
1. The tax payer must have paid tax dues on or before the cancellation date
2. The ITC availed on capital goods must be paid back after reducing some % based on the use
3. The GST registration will be suspended from the date of application.
You can apply for cancellation of registration in Form GST REG 16 within 30d of discontinuation of the business. Certain details relating to closing stock and liabilities should be filled in this form.
The officer, if he initiates the cancellation, will then issue a show cause notice in Form GST REG 17 to which you must reply within 7d of the receipt of notice in Form GST REG 18.
After considering the reply, the officer may within 30d of the reply, issue order of cancellation in GST REG 19 or stop the proceedings of cancellation in Form GST REG 20.
The date notified in cancellation order will be the date of cancellation
