"Yes, you can withdraw from the Composition Scheme at any time by filing Form CMP-04 on the GST portal within 7 days of becoming liable as a regular taxpayer. After withdrawal: (1) you move to regular GST and must start filing GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B from the next tax period; (2) you can claim Input Tax Credit on stock held on the date of withdrawal - declare this in Form ITC-01 within 30 days; (3) file any remaining composition returns (GSTR-4) for the period before withdrawal.
The transition date in CMP-04 determines when your regular compliance begins. If you are withdrawing because your turnover crossed Rs 1.5 crore, the timeline for filing CMP-04 is mandatory - delays can attract penalties."
