Yes. It is compulsory to register.

If you cancel the registration then he is not required to register. But how can you de register as upto GST notified you are liable to charge vat on the invoices..

No Dear.. After migrating into GST you can apply for surrender of registration under GST law by mentioning turnover below Rs 20 Lakhs..

Here is the excerpt of Section 22(2). You can interpret by yourself.

Every person who, on the day immediately preceding the appointed day, is registered or holds a licence under an existing law, shall be liable to be registered under this Act with effect from the appointed day.
