As e-invoicing thresholds drop, transacting with a cancelled or suspended GSTIN breaks more than input credit. Verify before you invoice.

The chain reaction
If a supplier GSTIN is cancelled, their invoices cannot be reported to the invoice registration portal, your input tax credit on those invoices is at risk, and your own returns develop a mismatch that surfaces in scrutiny.
Verify at three points
At vendor onboarding, before raising a purchase order, and as a scheduled sweep of your active vendor list. A vendor status can change quietly between any of these.
Automate the sweep
A weekly job that re-checks every active vendor GSTIN and flags any that moved off Active turns a compliance risk into an alert you can act on before the invoice is booked.
