The Telangana High Court has directed GST authorities to accept manual applications for revocation of cancelled registrations where online filings are restricted. This provides relief for many affected taxpayers.
Telangana HC Allows Manual Revocation Application for Cancelled GST Registration
The Telangana High Court has issued a directive allowing taxpayers to submit manual applications for revocation of GST registrations that were cancelled due to non-filing of returns. This decision comes in light of restrictions on online filing due to the expiry of limitation periods on the GST portal.
The Court noted that many taxpayers faced practical challenges in complying with the online filing requirements, thereby justifying the need for manual submissions. This ruling renders essential relief for taxpayers affected by the arbitrary cancellation of registrations, assisting them in reinstating their GST status under the law.
Practitioners should take note of this development, as it highlights the importance of flexibility in administrative processes for GST compliance. Tax advisors can guide their clients on how to effectively navigate the revocation process and minimize the adverse impact of previous cancellations.
