Issue
Reactivation of Cancelled GSTIN After Expiry of Revocation Time Limit
Background
V G GASES approached us after their GST registration was cancelled due to continuous non-filing of GST returns. The situation became more complex because the statutory time limit for filing a reply to the cancellation notice had already expired, and the prescribed period for filing a revocation application had also lapsed.
As a result, the normal procedure for restoring the GST registration was no longer available, requiring a special approval process through the GST department.
Challenges Faced
GST registration was cancelled due to non-filing of GST returns.
Time limit for filing clarification against the cancellation notice had expired.
Time limit for filing revocation application had also lapsed.
Restoration required approval through a Condonation of Delay application.
Multiple departmental approvals and follow-ups were necessary before reactivation could be processed.

• Maintained continuous communication with the concerned officers throughout the process. • Followed up with both the Commissionerate and the GST Division to avoid unnecessary delays.
