GST Cancellation & Revocation Support
Closing your business, or need to reinstate a cancelled GST registration? Leegal handles the cancellation or revocation application end-to-end.
Cancellation vs Revocation
GST cancellation ends a registration, either voluntarily (business closure, turnover falling below threshold) or by the tax authority for non-compliance such as continuous non-filing.
Revocation is the process of reversing a cancellation that was done by the authority, typically by clearing pending returns and dues, so the registration is restored rather than needing a fresh one.
| Voluntary Cancellation | Revocation of Cancellation |
|---|---|
| Applied by the taxpayer, e.g. on closing the business | Applied when the department cancelled registration |
| Requires filing a final return after cancellation | Requires clearing pending returns and dues first |
| Ends future GST compliance obligations for that GSTIN | Restores the same GSTIN and ongoing obligations |
| Straightforward if all returns are up to date | Time-bound; must generally be applied for promptly |
