On application, GST is not cancelled immediately. It takes so many months. All returns are to be filed. Final return is to filed. Annual return is to be filed. All dues are to be cleared. Your present GST registration no. is intact. You may call helpdesk. Your problem will be solved. Helpdesk is working 24 hrs.

I agree with Sri Kasturi Sir 'a view, the GSTIN is not immediately deactivated. Final return is at least required.
