India has a diverse economy with sectors like tea, petroleum, textiles, and handicrafts falling under the GST regime. While GST registration is mandatory for many businesses, it’s equally important to know when cancellation is appropriate.Though the GST registration process is fully online, cancellation can be complex due to eligibility checks, compliance status, and document requirements. That’s why it’s essential to understand the cancellation criteria before proceeding.
If your business has stopped operations, your turnover is below the GST threshold (₹20 lakhs or ₹10 lakhs for special category states like Assam, Manipur, etc.), or if you registered voluntarily but no longer need GST, cancellation may be the right step.As one of India’s leading GST consultants, FinFlickTax offers end-to-end support for GST cancellation — including eligibility checks, documentation, application filing, and post-cancellation compliance.

Exceeding the Threshold Limit
If your annual turnover is under the ₹20 lakhs (₹10 lakhs Only for special category states ), you may not need GST registration.
Voluntary Registration
If your turnover is below the threshold and GST compliance is no longer needed, you can cancel your registration to reduce filing.

At Finflicktax, we make the GST registration process hassle-free, fast, and completely online. Our experts handle the paperwork, compliance, and documentation — so you can focus on growing your business while we take care of the taxes.
