surrender/ cancellation of registration

The option to cancel the registration has not yet been made available in the GST portal. It is better to file "NIL' return till the option is made open. No GST shall be collected in your bills till that time.

Hi,

If your turnover is below ₹20 lakhs and you no longer make interstate taxable supplies (or your services are exempt), you can apply for GST registration cancellation online through the GST portal.

Here’s the step-by-step process on how to apply for GST registration cancellation online:  

1. Visit www.gst.gov.in and log in.

2. Go to Services → Registration → Application for Cancellation of Registration.

3. Select the reason — e.g., “Turnover below threshold limit” or “Change in business circumstances.”

4. Fill in the details, upload supporting documents (like declaration and proof of turnover), and submit the application using DSC or EVC.

5. Once your application is reviewed by the GST officer, your registration will be cancelled, and you’ll receive an official cancellation order (Form GST REG-19).
