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.

You may get the same number if you file restoration petition subject to the conditions prescribed.

THANK YOU SIR FOR YOUR PROMPT REPLY

AI Summary

GST registration reactivation can restore the same GST number if cancellation is pending and returns and dues are completed. A GST cancellation application does not immediately deactivate registration; the GST number remains intact until statutory processes conclude. Taxpayers must file all outstanding returns, including the final and annual returns, and clear all dues to complete cancellation. A restoration petition may obtain the same GST number subject to prescribed conditions and administrative approval; taxpayers may seek helpdesk assistance for procedural resolution.
