PARTICULARS OF THE TAXPAYER Legal name : [taxpayer_name] Trade name : [trade_name] GSTIN : [gstin] Principal place of business : [business_address] 2. REQUEST I/We hereby apply for cancellation of the above GST registration with effect from [cessation_date], under Section 29 of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017. 3. REASON FOR CANCELLATION [reason_for_cancellation] 4. STOCK HELD ON THE DATE OF CESSATION [stock_details] I/We undertake to pay the amount equivalent to the input tax credit availed on inputs held in stock, inputs contained in semi-finished or finished goods held in stock, and capital goods held on the said date, as required under Section 29(5) of the Act, by way of debit in the electronic credit or cash ledger. 5. RETURNS All returns due up to the period [last_return_period] have been filed. I/We undertake to file the FINAL RETURN within three months of the date of cancellation or of the order of cancellation, whichever is later, as required under Section 45 of the Act. 6. LIABILITIES I/We confirm that all tax, interest, penalty and other amounts due under the Act have been paid, or shall be paid, and that cancellation of the registration shall not affect the liability to pay any amount due for any period prior to the date of cancellation. 7. DOCUMENTS I/We undertake to produce the books of account, invoices and records for such period as may be required, and to appear before the proper officer as and when called. 8. I/We request that the cancellation be processed at the earliest and that an order of cancellation be issued. Yours faithfully, For [taxpayer_name] Authorised Signatory Name: Designation: DIN/PAN: IMPORTANT NOTES - Cancellation is applied for on the GST portal in the prescribed form. This letter is a supporting record and for correspondence with the jurisdictional officer. - A FINAL RETURN must be filed within three months of cancellation or of the cancellation order, whichever is later. Failure to file it attracts late fees and can prevent the cancellation being completed. - Cancellation does NOT extinguish liability for any period before the date of cancellation. Assessments and recovery for earlier periods can and do continue. - Where a registration is cancelled by the department on its own motion, an application for REVOCATION of that cancellation may be made within the prescribed period. - Continuing to hold a registration while filing nil returns is generally simpler than cancelling and re-registering later. Consider whether cancellation is genuinely the right step before applying.
