GST Revocation · Cancelled GSTIN · REG-21

Revocation of GST Cancellation restore your GSTIN, the right way.

GST revocation services — Form GST REG-21 application for revocation of cancelled registrations, response to show-cause notices, pending GSTR-3B and GSTR-1 filing, late fee management, and appellate remedies before the Joint Commissioner where revocation is rejected.

GST registration can be cancelled either voluntarily by the taxpayer or suo-motu by the GST officer. Suo-motu cancellation is typically ordered for non-filing of returns for six consecutive months, non-filing of three consecutive returns by a composition dealer, non-commencement of business within six months of voluntary registration, fraudulent registration, or violation of the CGST Act or rules. Once cancelled, the taxpayer loses the authority to collect GST, issue tax invoices, claim input tax credit, or generate e-way bills — and any continued business becomes non-compliant.

Revocation of cancellation is the legal remedy available under Section 30 of the CGST Act read with Rule 23. A taxpayer whose registration has been cancelled by the officer can file Form GST REG-21 for revocation within 30 days of the cancellation order (extended in some cases to 90 days, and further extended through amnesty schemes notified by the CBIC). Before filing REG-21, all pending returns must be filed, due tax and late fee must be paid, and the books of account must be brought up to date.

Our revocation service covers the entire restoration journey: assessment of cancellation reason, filing of pending GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, and annual returns, payment of late fee and interest, drafting of revocation application in Form GST REG-21 with reasons and supporting evidence, response to show-cause notice in Form GST REG-23, attending personal hearing before the GST officer, and appellate remedy under Section 107 before the Joint Commissioner (Appeals) where revocation is rejected. We also handle revocations under amnesty schemes that occasionally extend the time limit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Revocation is the legal remedy under Section 30 of the CGST Act to reverse a GST registration cancelled by the GST officer. It is filed through Form GST REG-21 within 30 days of the cancellation order, with extensions available under amnesty schemes.

The standard time limit is 30 days from the date of the cancellation order. The Joint Commissioner or Commissioner may extend this by up to 60 days. Amnesty schemes notified by the CBIC have periodically extended the limit further.

Yes, but all pending returns must first be filed with the applicable late fee, interest, and tax dues paid. The GST officer will not consider the revocation application until pending compliance is brought up to date.

A rejection order in Form GST REG-05 can be appealed under Section 107 of the CGST Act in Form GST APL-01 before the Joint Commissioner (Appeals) within 3 months of the order.

A fresh registration is possible but not always advisable, since the same PAN can attract scrutiny for the earlier cancelled GSTIN. Revocation preserves your GST history, vendor links, and e-commerce listings — generally the cleaner route where the time limit is available.
