Cancellation of GST registration: officers must accept complete REG-16 applications promptly while safeguarding tax liabilities and ledger reversals. Applications for cancellation of GST registration in FORM GST REG-16 must include specified particulars and appear on the jurisdictional officer's dashboard; proper officers should accept complete applications promptly and issue FORM GST REG-19 with the effective date sought (not earlier than application date). Incomplete applications or where the transferee entity is unregistered require written notice of discrepancy and a seven working day reply period before possible rejection; satisfactory replies permit cancellation. Cancellation does not extinguish liabilities and requires filing of final return in FORM GSTR-10 and settlement of input/output tax on stocks by debiting electronic credit or cash ledger, with ledger balances becoming unavailable from the effective cancellation date except to discharge liabilities up to final return filing.
