Step by Step Guide: Cancellation of GST Registration Online on GST Portal

Cancellation of GST registration is not a hard work as Indian government GST Portal has provided a simple an easy step by step procedure to finally cancel the GST registration of migrated taxpayers through newly implemented feature. Goods and services tax which was implemented recently and to be exact on 1st July 2017 with a lot of promises and work on progress tagline, is known to be subsuming all the indirect taxes into one. All the business units are exempted from paying GST which are under the turnover of 20 lakhs annually and all the business units above this exemption limit have to be registered under the GST.

The registration part has been discussed everywhere and has been understood manifold by guides and articles, but now there comes a chance to cancel the registration under GST by the taxpayer itself or by any governing authorities. The cancellation option is for migrated taxpayer only who wants to cancel their registration on GST.

By far we have got the confirmation that the business organization can cancel their registration by the means o the recently popped up feature on the GSTN portal, but the cancellation feature is limited to only 3 entities who can initiate the cancellation of registration:

  • The taxpayer himself
  • GST officer
  • A legal heir of the taxpayer

The cancellation of the registration can be initiation in some cases like the death of the taxpayer. While the registration can also be done voluntarily but only after one or more years are elapsed starting from the date of GST registration.

  1. A person intends to discontinue profession. He has some capital goods on which he has not claimed any input credit at all. He has not sold or transferred the same to any body. Still, it will be deemed to be a supply under Schedule II to the CGST Act. What is the “Transaction Value” on which output tax on deemed supply should be paid (since reduced ‘input tax’ will be zero)?

  2. I had surrendered my GST regn during the end of April 2021, but the same was rejected during Oct 2021. I made a representation that my service receipts are much less than the threshold limit and I am an aged person so I do not wish to be registered under GST. I am not claiming any Input Tax Credit either. Again this got rejected, and the Dept did not give any reason as to why they were rejecting my application for cancellation. Should I declare my Service Receipts as Professional Income in my Income Tax Returns for 31.03.2022 as I have been doing in earlier years? Is this the reason why my application for cancellation of GST is getting rejected?

    1. I’m an unemployed poor family member. So listening to the people had forced this GST. Before I can not understand. So I want to cancel my GST. My request will be very good for my family if GST is discontinued. Thanks you sir

  3. a Taxpayer Registration cancelled for not filing GSTR 3B for Six months and now closed
    But TP filed GSTR 1 for 3 months out of that 6 months and some liability is there and TP pass the credit also so he declare his liability in those 3 months.
    So what is the procedure to recover that amount?

  4. I am opening a firm and want to apply for GST. But I am not sure if I might be needing my GST number after 3 years or so. And that time I might want to surrender it. My question is that in that case will I have to close my firm as well or I can continue with my firm and simply surrender my GST?

  5. I have received a notice GST REG-17/31 for obtaining registration by uploading a wrong file of a Rent agreement mistakenly which was not having the signature of the Landlord.

  6. Hi sir,

  8. Hi, My GST registration dtd 15-7-2020, since there are no transactions, I have applied for GST cancellation on 24-11-2020. Before cancellation, I paid all penalties & filed NIL returns. Now my GST status showing “suspended”, as the officer gives notice for seeking clarification – he needs clarification for reason of cancellation. I have mentioned the reason “Others” at the time of cancellation. And the last date given 5-12-2020 by the officer to submit the reply otherwise my application of cancellation will get rejected.

    So, my 1st query – How to reply on GST portal, where is the option to reply?

    2nd query – If no reply was given on time, then what will be my GST status? will it be “ACTIVE” / “SUSPENDED”

  9. We have filed returns up to Feb.’20 but due to Covid 19 and left & non-availability of an accountant we couldn’t file subsequent returns. Businesses have also failed for various reasons including Covid19. The business place was also left in March ’20.

    Now, we are trying to file a return for NIL but it attracts a penalty for SGST & CGST for the caped amount without which unable to submit returns.

    Thank you

  53. Good update. I have a query related to the GST system which still does not have an answer for my problem.

    We are small export Prop company and had a VAT No and Service Tax registration no in Haryana. Sales Tax was handled by a Sales Tax Consultant and Service Tax by our CA, independent of each other. Our migration to GST was handled by our Sales Tax consultant and due to oversight, Service Tax was not included in the list of input services. Now we are not able to take credit for our Service Tax balance in TRAN 1 form and don’t know if there is a procedure to migrate Service Tax registration in GST or add it.

    Shall appreciate your advice on above.
