  1. Facts

    Yes. Once revocation is ordered in REG-22, returns for the period from the cancellation date to the revocation order are due within 30 days of the order, as Rule 23 provides.

  2. Provisions and law

    • Rule 23, CGST Rules 2017Revocation in REG-21 within 90 days of service of the cancellation order, extendable by up to 180 days; pending returns and dues first
    • Sec 39, CGST Act 2017Return for each tax period
  3. Analysis

    Revocation restores the GSTIN as if never cancelled, so every tax period needs a return. Sales made during the gap with a cancelled GSTIN should be reported in these returns. Missing the 30-day window can lead to late fees and a fresh cancellation.

  4. Conclusion

    1. Download the REG-22 order.
    2. List the months between cancellation and revocation.
    3. File GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B for each within 30 days.
    4. Update invoices issued during the gap where needed.
