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

If anyone has a reply format for GST regarding this reason: Taxpayer found Non-Functioning/Not Existing at the Principal Place of Business. please share the format.

You will receive the mail where you find all the details for further calculation you can visit the public calculators for more information regarding gst and vat.

A suo motu cancellation means the GST officer cancelled your GSTIN, usually because returns were not filed for a continuous period.

To get it revoked, you have 30 days from the cancellation order to apply. Here are the steps:

1. File ALL pending GST returns first (GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B for every outstanding month). The portal will not let you apply for revocation until returns are filed.
2. Pay all outstanding tax, interest, and late fees. Nil returns must also be filed for months with no business activity.
3. Go to GST portal and navigate to Registration, then Application for Revocation of Cancellation. Submit REG-21.
4. The officer will review and may call for a personal hearing. Reply to any notice within the given time.

If the 30-day window has passed, you need to approach the Appellate Authority. That is a separate process and takes longer.

The critical step most people miss is filing nil returns for inactive months before applying. For end-to-end help with GST return filing and revocation, see Tax Garden on the [nil GST return filing guide](https://taxgarden.in/blog/nil-gst-return-filing-india-gstr-1-gstr-3b-cmp-08-guide).
