GSTR-10 is the final return due within three months of cancellation. Sec 46 also covers it, so the notice asks you to file it.
Provisions and law

- Sec 45, CGST Act 2017Final return within three months of cancellation or the cancellation order, whichever is later
- Sec 47, CGST Act 2017Late fee for late returns
Analysis
Many people think cancellation ends everything, but Sec 45 asks for a final return showing closing stock and tax on it. Example: cancelled on 31 March 2026, GSTR-10 was due by 30 June 2026. File it now with the stock details and any tax on stock. Check the late fee on the portal before filing.
Conclusion
- Find the cancellation date and order.
- Work out closing stock and capital goods on that date.
- Calculate tax payable on them.
- File GSTR-10 with any late fee.
