1. Revocation of cancellation of registration: Vide amendment in Rule 23(1) of CGST Rules, power has been given to Additional Commissioner, Joint Commissioner and the Commissioner to extend the time limit (30 days from the date of order of cancellation of application) of filing the revocation application against cancellation order. However, such power was already available under Section 30 of CGST Act. Said amendment has been introduced to align the provisions of CGST Rules with the CGST Act. 2.
