Frequently Asked Questions

What is the time limit to file revocation?

90 days from the date of cancellation order. An extension of up to 180 days is possible through the Joint Commissioner.

Can I do business while GSTIN is cancelled?

No. Any taxable supply after cancellation is illegal and attracts heavy penalty.

What if 90 days have already passed?

Apply for condonation of delay before the Joint / Additional Commissioner. Alternatively, fresh registration may be needed.

Do I need to file all pending returns?

Yes. Revocation is rejected if any return is pending. We file everything in one go before applying.

How long does GST revocation take?

Typically 30 days from filing REG-21, subject to officer queries and document completeness.
