Hello.

My situation is unique and I would like everyone's opinion on the course of action to take.

I was late in filing my GST returns for a period of 6 months but eventually filed it all while paying the late fees.

In the same duration I had been sent a show cause notice which went to the email id of my former CA who didn't inform me about it. Since the notice is not prominently visible on the dashboard, when I saw it, the time window to file the reply was closed. 

I instead wrote to the Assistant Commissioner who had signed the show cause notice, on his official email id but he didn't accept it as a reply to the show cause notice.

Subsequently I received the cancellation notice with an option to file REG-21 to request revokation of cancellation. However despite multiple attempts everyday to file it, the website would give me technical errors which looked like my Digital Signing rights were revoked. I raised numerous complaints to the greivance cell but they couldn't resolve the issue and my deadline to file REG-21 passed. I wrote to the AC again with proof of the technical problem and asked for revocation of cancellation which he didn't and went ahead with the cancellation.

What are my options to get the cancellation order reversed and how can I take to task the department and the GSTN for the harassment meted out to me.
