Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies GST implications when a composite dealer passes away and their son takes over the business. While a transfer of a going concern is generally exempt from GST under Notification 12/2017, the son is liable to obtain GST registration from the date of transfer due to succession. The process involves registering the son's business and cancelling the father's registration, citing the death of the proprietor. Alternatively, converting to the normal scheme and invoicing pending stock is suggested.

Yes GST will arise
No..... In term of Notification 12/2017 CT (r) : Services by way of Transfer of going concern as independent or part thereof is Exempted in GST.

As per Section 22(3) any business is transferred on account of succession or otherwise to another person as going concern the Transferee is liable to obtain Registration from the date of transfer.

So ask son to obtain the registration & while Registration process under reason for registration Select " Death of proprietor" .

File application for cancellation of Registration of Father (Transferor) & select reason for cancellation " death of proprietor" thereafter it will ask for GSTN to whom the business is to be transfer or who is going run the business , provide the Son's (Transferee) GSTN therein.

For more details in this regard kindly refer the Circular 96/15/2019 GST
The simplest way, Convert to the normal scheme & raise an invoice with the pending stocks.
