Revocation of Cancellation refers to the process by which a previously cancelled registration under Indian tax laws, such as GST (Goods and Services Tax), is restored or reactivated. When a business’s GST registration is cancelled—either voluntarily by the taxpayer or by the tax authorities due to non-compliance or inactivity—the business cannot legally carry out taxable activities under GST. However, if the business resumes operations or meets the required conditions, it may apply to revoke the cancellation and regain its registration status.
This process is crucial for small business owners and entrepreneurs who may have faced cancellation due to temporary closure, procedural errors, or missed compliance deadlines but now wish to restart their business activities officially. Revocation allows them to continue filing GST returns, claim input tax credits, and avoid penalties for operating without valid registration.
In practical terms, revocation of cancellation ensures uninterrupted compliance with GST rules, helping businesses maintain smooth operations and avoid legal complications. The application for revocation must be filed within a prescribed period, typically 30 days from the date of cancellation, and requires providing valid reasons and necessary documents to the tax authorities.
