GST registration cancellation for Covid non-filing set aside, matter remanded; registration restored on paying all dues
Case-Laws
GST
HC set aside cancellation of petitioner's GST registration and remanded the matter to the proper officer for reconsideration. Observing that non-filing of returns for six months occurred during the Covid-19 period, coupled with petitioner's heart ailment and financial distress, the Court held the explanation was not mala fide or unreasonable, particularly in absence of any allegation of fraudulent or unlawful activity. Relying on analogous precedent, HC directed restoration of registration subject to payment of all outstanding dues, including late fees and interest, and compliance with statutory requirements.
