GST Cancellation & Revocation

Q: What is the difference between GST cancellation and revocation?

GST cancellation is when your registration is terminated, either voluntarily or by a GST officer. GST revocation is the process of restoring your cancelled GST registration, but only if the cancellation was initiated by the officer, not voluntarily by you.

Q: How do I revoke GST registration after 90 days?

Typically, revocation must be filed within 30 days, but extensions of up to 90 or 180 days can be granted by the Additional/Joint/Commissioner officers through condonation of delay. You must file all pending returns and make payments before applying.

Q: How do you write a reason for revocation of GST?

Be specific and honest. You can write: "Due to unavoidable circumstances, the returns could not be filed on time, which led to cancellation. All pending returns have now been filed, and dues are cleared. Kindly consider revocation of the cancelled GST registration to resume business operations."

Q: Can GST be revoked after 180 days?

Yes, but only if condonation of delay is granted by the Commissioner. You must submit a proper request along with valid reasons and complete compliance before applying.

Q: Can GST be revoked after 270 days?

Generally, no. However, under special notifications (like Notification No. 03/2023), the government has allowed revocation beyond the standard time limit for cancellations before a certain date. Such windows are rare and time-bound.

Q: What happens when GST registration is cancelled?

When your GST registration is cancelled: You cannot charge GST or collect tax You lose eligibility to claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) You must file a final return (GSTR-10) within 3 months You are legally not allowed to continue taxable supply under GST

Q: Can I voluntarily apply for GST revocation?

No. Revocation can only be applied if your registration was cancelled by the GST department. If you cancelled it voluntarily, you must apply for new registration, not revocation.

Q: What is the GST Revocation Appeal Time Limit?

If your revocation application is rejected, you can file an appeal within 3 months (extendable up to 1 more month with valid reasons) from the date of the rejection order under the GST Appellate rules.

Q: What happens to my Input Tax Credit (ITC) if my GST registration is revoked?

If your registration is revoked (restored) successfully, your ITC eligibility is restored too. However, if the cancellation is not revoked, you may lose ITC on stock held and will not be able to claim credits for future purchases.
