The Goods and Service Tax (GST) on January 24, 2023, issued an advisory on the facility of ‘Initiating Drop Proceedings’ of Suspended GSTINs due to Non-filing of Returns. Recently, a functionality of “Automated Drop Proceedings” of GSTINs suspended due to non-filing of returns has been implemented on the GST Portal. This functionality is available for the taxpayers who have filed their pending returns i.e. 6 monthly or 2 Quarterly returns.
If such taxpayers have filed all their pending returns, the system will automatically drop the proceedings and revoke the suspension. If the status of the GSTIN does not automatically turn ‘ACTIVE’, then taxpayers are advised to revoke the suspension once the due returns have been filed, by clicking on ‘Initiate Drop Proceeding’.
