Quick Summary
This discussion addresses how to cancel GST registration and handle default notices under Section 46 of the CGST Act. Even with a suspended RC, a notice for not filing returns can be issued. To resolve this, you must file all pending returns due before the cancellation date and consult your jurisdictional officer.

Sec 46 of CGST Act –

“Notice to return defaulters – Where a registered person fails to furnish a return under section 39, or section 44 or section 45 a notice shall be issued requiring him to furnish such return within fifteen days in such form and manner as may be prescribed.”

You will have to file all your pending returns which are due before the effective date of cancellation. You will also have to meet your jurisdictional officer in this regard
