GSTR-10 · Final Return · Post-Cancellation Filing

GSTR-10 Final Return Filing close your GSTIN cleanly.

GSTR-10 final return filing services for taxpayers whose GST registration is cancelled or surrendered — covering stock and capital goods declaration, input tax credit reversal, tax payment, late fee management, and filing under CBIC amnesty schemes.

GSTR-10 is the final return that every taxpayer whose GST registration has been cancelled or surrendered must file under Section 45 of the CGST Act, read with Rule 81. The return must be filed within 3 months from the date of cancellation order or date of cancellation, whichever is later. It is the closing statement of the GSTIN — declaring stock of inputs, semi-finished goods, finished goods, and capital goods held on the date of cancellation, with reversal of input tax credit (or output tax on the higher of the two, in case of capital goods) on those balances.

GSTR-10 is often missed by taxpayers who assume the GST relationship ends with the cancellation order. It does not. Until GSTR-10 is filed, the GSTIN remains in a transition stage on the GST portal, and the cancellation is incomplete in the records. Failure to file GSTR-10 attracts a notice in Form GSTN-3A, and continued non-filing can result in best judgment assessment under Section 62 of the CGST Act, late fee, and interest exposure. Late fee for GSTR-10 is Rs 200 per day (Rs 100 CGST + Rs 100 SGST), capped at Rs 10,000 — and the CBIC periodically launches amnesty schemes capping this further at Rs 1,000.

Our GSTR-10 service covers stock valuation, capital goods life and reversal calculation under Rule 44, comparison of remaining ITC vs output tax on stock (the higher of the two is payable for capital goods), filing of the return with the appropriate annexures, payment of tax, late fee, and interest where applicable, follow-up on cancellation status, and filing under amnesty schemes where the time limit has lapsed. We handle GSTR-10 for proprietorships, partnerships, LLPs, companies, and trusts whose GSTIN has been cancelled either voluntarily or suo-motu.
