If you opt to cancel your registration, you need to apply for it on the GST Common Portal. You must do this within 30 days of the event which made you cancel your registration. You will need data of stock held on the date and the quantum of dues of payments and credit reversal, and the particulars of payments made.

After you apply for cancellation, the Proper Officer will review your application. Once he is satisfied with it, he will cancel the registration within 30 days from the date of application or the date of reply to notice.
In case of voluntary registration (taken despite not being liable for), no cancellation is allowed until the expiry of one year from the effective date of registration.
