What is GST Cancellation & Revocation?
GST cancellation is the process of formally surrendering a GSTIN when a business closes, is no longer liable to be registered, transfers ownership, or changes its constitution. Once cancelled, the taxpayer stops being required to file periodic returns. Revocation applies when the department cancels a GSTIN on its own and the taxpayer wants it restored.
