   Analysis

   While suspended you cannot issue tax invoices or claim refunds, and business stops. Example: your GSTR-3B credit is Rs 15 lakh higher than 2B because of a supplier who stopped filing; the system flags you. Reply with the reconciliation, reverse credit not supported by 2B, and show proof. Most suspensions are revoked on a proper reply.
