How revocation works.
Pending returns
File every return up to the cancellation date, with tax, interest and late fees.
Revocation application
Within 90 days of the order; the officer can extend this for good cause.
Any query
Answer the officer's notice within seven working days.
Order
The officer revokes or rejects, usually within 30 days.
If time has run out.
If the time limit has passed, the options are an appeal against the cancellation order or, in some cases, a writ petition, where courts have often restored registrations once dues are paid. A fresh registration is the last resort. See GST Appeal Services.
