How to Revoke the Cancellation of GST Registration?

A value-added tax known as the Goods and Services Tax (GST) was implemented in India in 2017. It replaces a number of indirect taxes that the federal and state governments previously imposed on the supply of goods and services at the national level. Depending on the good or service delivered, different rates of GST are applied. If you have a GST registration in India, you can cancel it at any time by getting in touch with the GST cancellation authorities in India.

All firms are required to register for GST under the current system if their annual revenue exceeds the threshold. Depending on their yearly revenue, firms must file monthly, quarterly, or quarterly GST returns after registering. In addition, GST registration is still necessary for products and services that are GST exempt.
