A cancelled GSTIN means the business is no longer registered and cannot collect GST under Sec 32. A suspended GSTIN cannot make taxable supplies while suspended.
Provisions and law

- Rule 21A, CGST Rules 2017Registration suspended pending cancellation; no taxable supplies during suspension
Analysis
If the shop charges ₹180 GST on ₹1,000 with a cancelled GSTIN, that tax is not lawfully collected. Ask them to remove it, or report it. Business buyers will not get ITC.
Conclusion

- Show it to the seller.
- Ask for a bill without GST.
- Report to the state GST department if repeated.
