Registration of Meera Exports was cancelled by the proper officer on his own motion for failure to furnish returns. The cancellation order was served on 1 June. Meera applies for revocation on 20 July, after furnishing all pending returns and paying tax, interest and late fee. Order of revocation is passed on 10 August. Meera has returns due for the period from the cancellation order to the revocation order. Which statement is correct?

All returns due for the period from the date of the cancellation order until the revocation order must be furnished within thirty days from the date of the revocation order. The seven working day period relates only to replying to a show cause notice on rejection.

Rule 23(1) second proviso requires all returns due from the cancellation order to the revocation order to be furnished within thirty days from the date of the revocation order. The application was within ninety days of service, so it is in time. The seven working days period applies to replying to a REG-23 notice, which is a distractor.
