When your GST registration is cancelled, the department issues a cancellation order in Form GST REG-19<\/strong> \u2014 commonly called the GST cancellation certificate. This guide shows you exactly how to download it from the GST portal, when it is issued, and what to do if it is not showing.<\/p>\n

What is the GST cancellation certificate (REG-19)?<\/h2>\n

Form GST REG-19 is the official order confirming that a GSTIN has been cancelled \u2014 either because the taxpayer applied for cancellation (in Form GST REG-16) or because a proper officer cancelled it suo-moto. It states the effective date of cancellation and is your proof that the registration is no longer active. If you are winding down GST voluntarily, see our GST cancellation \/ surrender<\/a> service.<\/p>\n

How to download the GST cancellation certificate \u2014 step by step<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Go to the GST portal (www.gst.gov.in<\/strong>) and log in<\/strong> with your username and password.<\/li>\n
  2. Open Services \u2192 User Services \u2192 View\/Download Certificates<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  3. Locate Form GST REG-19<\/strong> in the list of certificates.<\/li>\n
  4. Click the Download<\/strong> icon \u2014 the certificate downloads as a PDF with the cancellation details and effective date.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The certificate is available only after the cancellation has actually been processed and approved. Until then, you will see the application status but not the REG-19 order.<\/p>\n

    Track your cancellation application (REG-16)<\/h2>\n

    If you have applied for cancellation and are waiting, track it via Services \u2192 Registration \u2192 Track Application Status<\/strong> using your ARN. Once the status shows the application as approved, the REG-19 certificate appears under View\/Download Certificates.<\/p>\n
