Hello experts,

One of my client was not able to file it's GST returns due to financial crunch and he received SCN for cancellation of GST registration. But he didn't see that and now the time of replying to the SCN has expired.
Returns of 3 months have not been filed.
What should be done?
Kindly guide me on the course of action to be taken.
Thank you.

Quick Summary
A client missed the deadline to respond to a GST Show Cause Notice for non-filing of returns due to financial issues. The notice was for cancellation of GST registration. The advice given is to either pay all tax liabilities and accept cancellation or immediately contact the issuing GST officer. If the registration is still active, the officer should be approached to prevent cancellation until returns are filed and dues are cleared, with pending returns to be filed promptly with interest and late fees.

In my opinion, Gst registration has to be cancelled now after paying all tax liabilities. Or meet your Gst officer in person by whom notice was issued 

Okay, thanks a lot sir
If registration is still active, contact issuing officer immediately and ask him not to cancel till you file the returns and pay all dues. File all pending returns with interest and late fee ASAP.
