2024 (4) TMI 1005 - HC - GSTCancellation of GST Registration retrospectively - closure of business - Defective Show Cause Notice - HELD THAT:- We notice that Show Cause Notice and the impugned order are also bereft of any details. Accordingly, the same cannot be sustained. Neither the Show Cause Notice, nor the order spell out the reasons for retrospective cancellation. It is important to note that, according to the respondent, one of the consequences for cancelling a taxpayer’s registration with retrospective effect is that the taxpayer’s customers are denied the input tax credit availed in respect of the supplies made by the tax payer during such period. Although, we do not consider it apposite to examine this aspect but assuming that the respondent’s contention in required to consider this aspect while passing any order for cancellation of GST registration with retrospective effect. Thus, a taxpayer's registration can be cancelled with retrospective effect only where such consequences are intended and are warrant. In view of the above that Petitioner does not seek to carry on business or continue the registration and an application for cancellation of registration appears to be filed, the impugned order dated 01.01.2021 modified to the limited extent that registration shall now be treated cancelled with effect from 30.04.2019 i.e., the date from which petitioner sought cancellation of GST registration. Petition is accordingly disposed of in the above terms.
