- Later, the taxpayer would be provided a 15 days period for filing the return along with all the documents.
- If the taxpayer fails to respond to the tax notice or does not file the GSTR-10 return, then the tax officer would pass the final order of cancellation with the amount of GST tax payable along with interest or penalty.
- Hence, to avoid unnecessary litigation or liabilities, it is important for all taxpayers who have surrendered or cancelled their GST registration to file GSTR-10 return within 3 months.
