  1. As per Rule 20 of the CGST Rules, in case of merger or amalgamation approved by NCLT, the application for cancellation of registration of the transferor company (ABC Private Limited) must be filed within 30 days from the date of the NCLT order, i.e., by 02.03.2025.

  2. There is no prescribed statutory due date under the GST law for filing Form ITC-02; however, it should ideally be filed before applying for cancellation of registration to ensure smooth transfer of unutilized ITC to the transferee company (PQR Private Limited).

  3. The pending recredit of ₹50,000 arising from the inverted duty refund can be claimed only if the transferor company’s registration is still active and the refund claim process is complete. Once registration is cancelled, claiming recredit becomes practically difficult. Multiple ITC-02 filings are permitted in cases where there are separate business verticals or partial transfers, subject to proper documentation and justification.

Keep the GSTIN of ABC Private Limited Active till you get the recredit. Also, department may not cancel the GSTIN for want of any pending notices or assessment under the said GSTIN.

No due date for filing ITC-02 and no restriction on the number of ITC-02 that can be filed.

Time limit for cancellation of registration is 30 days from NCLT order.

One way of doing this is keep the registration active until the re-credit. Would lead to a violation leading to levy of general penalty .

Another option is transfer the 2L and cancel within 30 days, provide the office a copy of merger order and request to re-credit to the resulting entity. If this does not happen or is not possible, based on the re-credit order in existing entity take the credit manually in the resulting entity and in case disputed by department it needs to be justified and fought until its logical end.

May get relief at Tribunal level.
