GST Amendments in Registration

Updating your GST registration is a vital compliance activity to ensure your business details remain accurate and up to date with the Goods and Services Tax (GST) network in India. Amendments may become necessary due to changes in business structure, location, or key personnel. These amendments are categorized into core and non-core fields, each with its own procedures and timelines

Core Fields Amendment

Core fields are fundamental to your business's legal identity and therefore require verification and approval from the GST tax authorities. Any update to these fields can significantly affect your GST registration details and should be done with due diligence.

Core Fields Include:

  • Legal name of the business (as per PAN)
  • Principal place of business address
  • Additional places of business
  • Details of partners, directors, or promoters (addition or removal)

Amendment Process for Core Fields:

1

Log in to the GST portal.

__

2

Navigate to::

  • Services > Registration > Amendment of Registration Core Fields.
3

Select the relevant section such as:

  • Business Details
  • Principal Place of Business
  • Additional Places of Business
4

Enter changes and upload supporting documents, such as:

  • Proof of address (e.g., utility bill, lease deed)
  • Identity and address proof of promoters/directors

Submit the application using one of the following:

  • Digital Signature Certificate (DSC)
  • E-signature (Aadhaar-based)
  • Electronic Verification Code (EVC)

Approval Timeline:

  • A tax officer will review and process the application within 15 working days.
  • Upon approval, an Order in Form REG-15 will be issued.
  • The updated Registration Certificate can be downloaded from the portal.
  • If no response is received within the stipulated time, the application is deemed approved automatically.

Non-Core Fields Amendment

Non-core fields are routine business details that do not require approval from the tax authorities. These changes are self-approved upon submission, making them quicker and easier to update.

Non-Core Fields Include:

  • Nature of business activities (goods/services supplied)
  • Authorized signatories
  • Contact details (email ID, mobile number)
  • Bank account details
  • Minor address corrections (without changing the state)

Amendment Process for Non-Core Fields:

  • Submit the changes using DSC, E-signature, or EVC.
