Cancellation of GST registration requires a speaking order that records specific reasons and gives the taxpayer a meaningful opportunity to respond. A show cause notice that merely alleges non-filing of returns for six months, without identifying the relevant period or defaults, is inadequate. Rule 22 read with FORM GST REG-19 obligates the Proper Officer to state clear grounds for cancellation; an order reciting only absence of reply and marking the case as "Others" shows non-application of mind and violates natural justice. The cancellation was quashed, and the matter was restored to the show cause stage for fresh action in accordance with law.
