    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.

  2. Provisions and law

    • Sec 46, CGST Act 2017A registered person who fails to file a return under Sec 39, 44, 45 or 52 gets a notice to file within 15 days
    • 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
  3. 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.

  4. Conclusion

    2. Work out closing stock and capital goods on that date.
    3. Calculate tax payable on them.
    4. File GSTR-10 with any late fee.
