E-Commerce businesses, businesses with a turnover of more than \u20b940 lakhs, and businesses transporting goods worth more than \u20b950,000\/- from one state to another are all required to register for GST. Furthermore, e-way bills can only be generated by taxpayers who have registered for GST and have filed their GST returns on time and correctly. However, if a business wishes to cease operation and have its GST suspended, it can do so.<\/span><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"color: #808080;\">The rules and documents required to cancel your GST registration are laid out in Section 29 of the CGST Act of 2017. The proper officer may cancel the registration at his discretion or on the basis of an application filed by the registered person or his legal heirs according to Section 29(1).<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #808080;\">However, when the CBIC revokes a taxpayer&#8217;s assigned GSTIN, it means the taxpayer is no longer a GST enrolled entity. He would be relieved of the burden of paying and collecting GST. This is referred to as a Cancelled GST Registration, and it can be very damaging to a business.<\/span><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"color: #808080;\">You cannot seek cancellation if you are a tax deductor, tax collector, or taxpayer with an assigned UIN (Unique Identity Number).<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_74 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zolvit.com\/blog\/how-to-cancel-gst-registration\/#Reasons_to_Cancel_GST_Registration\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Reasons to Cancel GST Registration<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zolvit.com\/blog\/how-to-cancel-gst-registration\/#Information_Required_to_Cancel_GST_Registration\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Information Required to Cancel GST Registration<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zolvit.com\/blog\/how-to-cancel-gst-registration\/#How_to_Cancel_GST_Registration_Step_by_Step_Guide\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">How to Cancel GST Registration: Step by Step Guide<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zolvit.com\/blog\/how-to-cancel-gst-registration\/#GST_Cancellation_Final_Returns\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">GST Cancellation: Final Returns<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reasons_to_Cancel_GST_Registration\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><strong>Reasons to Cancel GST Registration<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #808080;\">If the company is going out of business,<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #808080;\">If there are significant changes to the <a href=\"https:\/\/servicesofindia.com\/pan-card-download\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener follow external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">PAN card<\/a>, or if the company&#8217;s constitution changes,<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #808080;\">If the company was demerged, merged with another legal entity, or otherwise disposed of<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #808080;\">If the company was completely transferred to someone else, such as when the proprietor died,<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #808080;\">If the annual turnover is less than the established limit,<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #808080;\">Following the amendment, even taxpayers who voluntarily registered for GST can cancel their registration within one year of registration.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<table style=\"height: 158px;\" width=\"801\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #808080;\">The cancellation of your registration is unaffected by any pending tax liabilities or obligations.
