Sir, I have cancelled my proprietorship business GST Registration Number in December 2017 and Cancellation order w.e.f. 01.07.2017 is also received. Now I wish to get GST Registration again. After cancellation of earlier GST Registration I have not filed Form 310 and therefore my new registration application is rejected. As Form 310 is required to be filed with in 3 months, now it can’t be filed. There was Closing Stock of Rs.24K as on 31.03.2017 which is sold as scrap in 2020 and there is no other business activity till date after 31.03.2017 except sale of scrap in 2020. What is required to be done in such case?
My Provisional ID has been cancelled as shown above,status is also showing inactive. Should i required to file GSTR 10. if yes, how? as i can not login to the portal. Please suggest.
This fact is applicable for my company:
Migrated Taxpayer whose form is processed by tax official and GSTIN is generated.
YOUR ADVICE IS: 1. Submit the Application for Cancellation of Registration in GST REG – 16.
NOTE: This functionality will be available at a later point in time.
So, I think FORM GST REG-29 has to be filed because from REG-16 is an Order for Cancellation of Registration submitted by the TAX officer.
The GST rule says:
Persons Registered under VAT/Service Tax Laws Not liable to Register Under GST
Any person registered under any of the existing laws, who is not liable to be registered under the Act can opt to cancel the registration granted to him. He must submit an application electronically in FORM GST REG-29 at the Common Portal within 30 days from the GST implementation date. The proper officer will, after conducting enquiry, cancel the said registration.
Also FORM GST REG-29 is still not available online on GST portal.

Same experience as Mr. JAIPRAKASH:
My GSTIN has been cancelled successfully but Search Taxpayer status is ACTIVATED.
What is the problem.
Does the system need time to digest the cancellation and will the confirmation of cancellation appear later?
What is the procedure of Cancellation of GST no. if the person has expired in the month of august & he has already filed 3B for the month of July.
But what to do who have migrated but wants to surrender as its turnover is less than 20 lakh. Earlier this was impression that every one has to migrate so every one migrated even though his turnover was less than 20 lakh in the hope that surrender option will be displayed, but now these person can not surrender. Now what to do for 3B and other Return. Is they have to file, Is they have to pay tax also even though they wanted to surrender. I think these person should file 3B but will nil figures
