Non-filing of GSTR-3B over an extended period can lead to the cancellation of GST registration


Quick Summary
The Kerala High Court has ruled that GST registration can be cancelled if a business fails to file GSTR-3B returns for six consecutive months. The court stated that paying tax and interest after the cancellation period does not negate the initial failure to file. It also noted that the GST portal is functional and that alternative remedies should be pursued within statutory limits.
