GST revocation:getting your GSTIN back.

If the GST officer has cancelled your registration, often for missed returns, you cannot invoice with GST, your customers lose input credit and e-way bills stop. You can apply to revoke the cancellation, usually within 90 days, once returns and dues are brought up to date. We put the filings right and make the application.
