Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies that professional tax liability cannot be a valid ground for rejecting a GST registration application. GST and professional tax are distinct types of taxes, one indirect and the other direct, and are not related. Therefore, a department cannot reject a GST registration solely based on a person's professional tax obligations, especially if there was no prior registration under older laws.

No this was not a valid reason for GST registration cancellation
Will be interesting if this has been done. have you received such notice or are you just asking of a possible scenario? if you have received a notice then it will be great if you could dm me that. if you are just asking then it can't be the ground. professional tax is a direct tax while gst is an indirect tax. they are not at all related to each other.
No it's just a possible scenario I am thinking of no real life involvement
Yes it's not a valid reason
Thanks for your reply.
