Revocation of Cancellation of Registration

The registration granted under GST can be cancelled for specified reasons. The cancellation can either be initiated by the department at its own motion or the registered person can apply for cancellation of their registration. In case of death of registered person, in case of proprietorship concern, the legal heirs can apply for cancellation. In case the registration has been cancelled by the department there is a provision for revocation of the cancellation of registration at the request of the taxpayer. On cancellation of the registration the person has to file a return which is called the Final Return. The Final Return has to be filed within three months of cancellation of GST registration.

Revocation of Cancellation of registration:

(a) When the registration has been cancelled by the proper officer, on its own motion and not on the basis of an application by the registered person, then the registered person, whose registration has been cancelled, can submit an application for revocation of cancellation of registration, in FORM GST REG-21, to the Proper Officer, within a period of ninety days from the date of the service of the order of cancellation of registration at the common portal, either directly or through a Facilitation Centre notified by the Commissioner. Provided that such period may, on sufficient cause being shown, and for reasons to be recorded in writing, be extended by the Commissioner or an officer authorised by him in this behalf, not below the rank of Additional Commissioner or Joint Commissioner, as the case may be, for a further period not exceeding one hundred and eighty days.

(b) However, if the registration has been cancelled for failure to furnish returns, application for revocation shall be filed, only after such returns are furnished and any amount due as tax, in terms of such returns, has been paid along with any amount payable towards interest, penalty and late fee in respect of the said returns.

(c) On examination of the application if the Proper Officer is satisfied, for reasons to be recorded in writing, that there are sufficient grounds for revocation of cancellation of registration, then he shall revoke the cancellation of registration by an order in FORM GST REG-22 within a period of thirty days from the date of the receipt of the application and communicate the same to the applicant.

(d) However, if on examination of the application for revocation, if the Proper Officer is not satisfied then he will issue a notice in FORM GST REG–23 requiring the applicant to show cause as to why the application submitted for revocation should not be rejected and the applicant has to furnish the reply within a period of seven working days from the date of the service of the notice in FORM
GST REG-24.

(e) Upon receipt of the information or clarification in FORM GST REG24, the Proper Officer shall dispose of the application within a period of thirty days from the date of the receipt of such information or clarification from the applicant. In case the information or clarification provided is satisfactory, the Proper Officer shall dispose the application as per para (c) above. In case it is not satisfactory, the applicant will be mandatorily given an opportunity of being heard, after which the Proper Officer after recording the reasons in writing may by an order in FORM GST REG- 05, reject the application for revocation of cancellation of registration and communicate the same to the applicant.

(f) The revocation of cancellation of registration under the SGST Act or the UTGST Act, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be a revocation of cancellation of registration under CGST Act & vice versa.

(g) All returns due for the period from the date of the order of cancellation of registration till the date of the order of revocation of cancellation of registration shall be furnished by the said person within a period of thirty days from the date of order of revocation
of cancellation of registration.

(h) Where the registration has been cancelled with retrospective effect, the registered person shall furnish all returns relating to period from the effective date of cancellation of registration till the date of order of revocation of cancellation of registration within a period of thirty days from the date of order of revocation of cancellation of registration.

(i) Where the registration has been suspended under Rule 21A (2A) for contravention of the provisions contained in clause (b) or clause (c) of sub-Section (2) of Section 29 and the registration has not already been cancelled by the proper officer, the suspension of registration shall be deemed to be revoked upon furnishing of all the pending returns.

(j) The cancellation of registration shall not affect the liability of the person to pay tax and other dues or to discharge any obligations under GST Act or Rules made there under for any period prior to the date of cancellation whether or not such tax and other dues are determined before or after the date of cancellation.

    if my registration is canceled, I am not able to file my returns. Then how could I submit my returns for the pending period and then apply for revocation?

    Where a person who has submitted an application for cancellation of his registration is no longer liable to be registered or his registration is liable to be cancelled, the proper officer shall issue an order in FORM GST REG-19, within a period of thirty days from the date of application submitted under sub-rule (1) of rule 20 or, as the case may
    be, the date of the reply to the show cause issued under sub-rule (1),
    cancel the registration, with effect from a date to be determined by him
    and notify the taxable person, directing him to pay arrears of any tax,
    interest or penalty including the amount liable to be paid under subsection. I doubt, as no officer concerned has not disposed off the application within 30 days, it is deemed that the registration has been cancelled. Whether this is correct or not, I don’t know. However, it seems to be correct as far as the language of section is concerned.

    If the GST registration is cancelled by dealer himself by mistake or oversight, although not liable for cancellation, how such cancellation be revoked. How the liabilities which was required to be cleared before cancellation can be cleared after cancellation. After such cancellation dealer obtained new Regn. as instructed by Jurisdictional officers. What will be the position thereafter.
