- At Mantra and Co, we simplify the process of revoking your Goods and Services Tax (GST) registration. Our expert team is here to assist you in smoothly navigating the revocation procedure, ensuring compliance with all relevant regulations.
What is GST Revocation?
GST revocation is the process of reinstating a previously cancelled Goods and Services Tax (GST) registration. It enables businesses whose GSTIN (GST Identification Number) has been deactivated—whether voluntarily by the taxpayer or involuntarily by tax authorities—to resume their standard business operations under GST regulations.
By successfully completing GST revocation, businesses can legally:
- Issue GST-compliant invoices
- Collect GST on sales
- Claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) on purchases
This ensures businesses remain compliant with tax regulations and continue their operations without disruption.
Rule 23: Revocation of Cancellation of Registration
Rule 23 of the Central Goods and Services Tax Rules, 2017, governs the revocation of GST registration. This rule outlines the conditions and procedure for reversing the cancellation of GST registration.
Key Points:
- Taxpayers can apply for revocation using Form GST REG-21.
- The application must be filed within 90 days from the date of the cancellation order (extended from the earlier 30-day limit).
Reasons for GST Cancellation
Cancellation Initiated by the Taxpayer:
- Business Closure: Permanent discontinuation of operations.
- Business Transfer: Transfer, merger, or sale of the business.
- Change in Structure: Changes in the legal entity (e.g., converting a partnership to a company).
- Turnover Below Threshold: Annual turnover below ₹40 lakh for goods or ₹20 lakh for services.
- Voluntary Cancellation: Decided by the taxpayer for personal or business reasons.
Cancellation Enforced by GST Authorities:
- Non-Compliance: Failure to file returns (6 consecutive months for regular taxpayers; 3 months for composition taxpayers).
- Fraudulent Registration: Misrepresentation or suppression of facts during registration.
- Violation of GST Laws: Significant or repeated non-compliance.
- Unauthorized Activities: Issuing fake invoices or engaging in fraud.
- Non-Commencement of Business: Failure to start business operations post-registration.
- Wrongful ITC Claims: Misuse of Input Tax Credit provisions.
Why GST Revocation is Crucial for Your Business
