Cancellation of Registration Under GST


To cancel GST registration in Delhi, you would generally follow the procedure outlined by the Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN) and the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC). In India, if you’re looking to cancel your Goods and Services Tax (GST) registration, you would typically need to fill out Form GST REG-16. This form is used for application for cancellation of registration under Rule 20(1) of the CGST Rules, 2017. Here’s a general outline of the process:
  1. Check eligibility: Ensure that you meet the criteria for cancelling GST registration in Delhi. This might include factors such as discontinuation of business, closure of operations, or falling below the threshold for mandatory registration.
  2. Prepare required documents: Gather necessary documents such as financial records, tax returns, and identification documents.
  3. Inform tax authorities: Notify the tax authorities in Delhi of your intention to cancel GST registration. This can often be done through the GSTN portal.
  4. Submit application: Complete and submit the GST REG-16 form for cancellation of registration through the GSTN portal. Ensure that all required information is accurately provided.
  5. Finalize outstanding obligations: Clear any outstanding tax liabilities, file pending returns, and settle any dues with the tax authorities before cancelling GST registration.
  6. Await confirmation: After submitting the cancellation request, you’ll need to wait for confirmation from the tax authorities. This confirmation typically indicates that your GST registration has been successfully cancelled.
  7. Update records: Once you receive confirmation of the cancellation, update your business records and notify relevant stakeholders, such as suppliers and customers, of the change in your GST status.

It’s important to note that the specific process and forms may be subject to change, so it’s advisable to check the latest guidelines provided by the GSTN or consult with a taxgoal.in professionals for assistance with cancelling GST Registration in Delhi.
