Annual Return Provisional Registration Cancelled

[SUDHIRKUMAR SHAH]

On GST portal while resetting password of X Assessee massage shown..'Provisional Registration is Cancelled and hence login is not allowed. If you have not applied for cancellation, you may contact jurisdictional officer under VAT/ Service Tax/ Excise as applicable.'

Now, when I visit to return filing table of above assesee GSTR -3B for July-Oct 2017 is filed.

Now My question is whether we need to file GSTR-9 Annual Return for FY 2017-18 as Provisional Registration was cancelled ??

If No, then why all FAQ released are saying that if assessee is registered on a single day then they have to file Annual Return ??

You are required to file Annual Return for the year 17-18. If you are finding any problem, lodge complaint with Grievance Redressal Cell of Common Portal System.Your problem will be solved.

I support your view sir

Sir, Departmental officer are sending us from CGST office to SGST office and SGST Office to CGST. Sir, initially government has helped but now officers are avoiding, misbehaving, believing every person is CHOR.... Thief.

We are really surprised that officers are not even giving proper guidance.

Dear Sh.Shah Ji,

I understand your problem very well. Pl. follow the following remedies:-

1. Come to the level of praising the officer from whom you want to get your work done. Praise is 'psychological food' of every person whosoever may be and at every level.

2. You should not go anywhere. Just first lodge complaint with Grievance Redressal Cell and you will get ticket number (complaint number). After two days of lodging complaint, contact on phone. Needless to say politeness and humbleness will click.

3. Only officials of common portal system have power to re-open your account. My problem was solved by way of de-freezing the 'frozen' return. Your problem is different but every problem has solution.

4. If still not solved, meet the highest officer i.e. Commissioner. Before going to the Commissioner, visit Deputy Commissioner , Joint Commissioner, Addl.Commissioner.

5. Also follow the directions of the officials of Common Portal System.

I would like to share with you something more. About one month ago I received a WhatsApp message on this very issue. That person was very much aggrieved. He was frustrated. His problem was solved within one day. I was also taken aback. Problem was pending solution for two months.His problem was solved by the officials of Common Portal System.

I hope your problem will also be solved.

GST helpdesk provides solution upon raising a ticket. One should keep doing follow up as there are so many tickets raised. Patience , politeness is like Identiy card which allows a person to visit any restricted place.

Thank you Sir for your complement.

AI Summary

Annual Return requirement persists despite provisional registration cancellation; pursue portal grievance to restore access and comply. The Annual Return remains required even if the GST provisional registration shows as cancelled on the portal; practical access problems should be resolved by lodging a ticket with the Common Portal Grievance Redressal Cell, following up with portal officials who alone can reopen accounts or de-freeze returns, and escalating to departmental officers if necessary.
