Revocation of GST Registration Cancellation
Restoring a GST registration that was cancelled by a tax officer, under Section 30 of the CGST Act.
Where a GST officer cancels a taxpayer's registration on their own initiative (suo moto) — commonly for non-filing of returns — the taxpayer can apply for revocation of that cancellation in Form GST REG-21, generally within 30 days of the cancellation order, with extensions available in specified circumstances. Before applying, all pending returns up to the date of cancellation must be filed, along with any outstanding tax, interest and late fees. Revocation is not available where the taxpayer applied for cancellation voluntarily.

Why prompt action matters in revocation cases
What sets our approach apart.
The window to apply is limited
Revocation applications are generally due within 30 days of the cancellation order, so delay can close off this route entirely.
Returns must be current before applying
The department requires all overdue returns to be filed and dues cleared before it will consider a revocation application.
A lapsed GSTIN disrupts business
Cancelled registration means you can't legally collect GST or claim Input Tax Credit, so restoring it quickly limits business disruption.
