Case Study : How Haldkar Consultancy Services Helped To Reactivate a Blocked GST and Amazon Seller Account

Case Background -

Meet Mr. Hidayat Malik, an Amazon seller running his business with dedication and consistency. Like every compliant entrepreneur, he had a valid GST number and relied on his appointed CA/Advocate to handle tax filings. Unfortunately, the trust was misplaced.

Without informing him, his CA failed to file GST returns for months. Mr. Malik was completely unaware of the risk building up behind the scenes.

The Problem

By May 2025, after six months of non-filing, the consequences became unavoidable:

• His GST number was marked inactive by the GST Department.

• Amazon, following strict compliance norms, blocked his seller account.

• Orders stopped, sales vanished, and customers lost confidence.

Mr. Malik’s business came to a grinding halt. He was frustrated, anxious, and uncertain about how to fix the situation.

The Turning Point – Reaching Out to Haldkar Consultancy Services

At this crucial stage, Mr. Malik connected with Haldkar Consultancy Services. Our team listened carefully to his challenges and immediately designed a structured plan to bring his business back on track.

Here’s how we helped:

1. Compliance Audit – Reviewed all pending GST filings and calculated penalties.

2. Penalty Settlement – Assisted Mr. Malik in clearing dues and making required penalty payments.

3. Return Filing – Filed all the pending returns correctly and updated compliance records.

4. GST Reactivation – Submitted applications and followed up with authorities until the GST number was reactivated.

5. Amazon Seller Account Restoration – Updated the reactivated GST with Amazon, ensuring his seller account was unblocked.

The Outcome

Within a short span, Mr. Malik’s GST was successfully reactivated, and his Amazon seller account was live again. His business bounced back, and he could resume sales without further delays.

Impact of Delay (Nov 2024 – May 2025)

The six-month gap created multiple setbacks for Mr. Malik:

• Financial Penalties: Late fees and interest accumulated month after month, increasing his financial burden.

• Business Loss: With his Amazon account blocked, he lost consistent sales, repeat customers, and market presence.

• Emotional Stress: The uncertainty of not knowing when (or if) he could resume business caused constant worry.

• Reputation Risk: Buyers who couldn’t place orders began to doubt the reliability of his brand.
