A Ltd. is registered under GST in Rajasthan, Delhi, Haryana and Punjab. Due to closure of business activities in Rajasthan with effect from May 31, 2023, A Ltd. filed an application for cancellation of registration before the jurisdictional tax authorities of Rajasthan. The application for cancellation of registration was filed on June 30, 2023. The registration was suspended with immediate effect from June 30, 2023, by the jurisdictional tax authorities. The final order of cancellation was dated July 31, 2023. You are required to advise A Ltd. regarding the last date for filing the final return by it in Rajasthan. Further, A Ltd. was also registered as an ISD (Input Service Distributor) in Rajasthan; said registration was cancelled with effect from June 30, 2023 with an order dated July 31, 2023. Advise whether the final return is required to be filed upon cancellation of ISD registration by A Ltd.? If yes, what is the due date for filing said final return?

Suggested Answer and Working Notes:

As per section 45 read with rule 81, every registered person who is required to file a return under section 39 (1) and whose registration has been cancelled is required to file a final return electronically in Form GSTR-10 through the common portal. The final return has to be filed within 3 months of the: (i) date of cancellation or (ii) date of order of cancellation whichever is later. Thus, in the given case, final return for Rajasthan registration has to be furnished within three months of the date of order of cancellation of registration (July 31, 2023). Hence, final return has to be filed by A Ltd. on or before October 31, 2023. Further, since an ISD is not required to furnish return under section 39 (1) but under section 39 (4) , final return is not required to be filed upon cancellation of ISD registration. Therefore, A Ltd. is not required to furnish final return for ISD registration cancelled.
