Analysis

Before cancellation you get a REG-17 notice and a chance to reply. File all pending CMP-08s and GSTR-4s with interest and late fee to show compliance. A cancelled registration can be revoked within the time allowed if you file all returns. Also remember returns cannot be filed after three years from their due date.
