GST Registration
Under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime, GST registration is mandatory for businesses and individuals whose turnover exceeds the government-specified threshold limits. Upon registration, businesses are issued a unique Goods and Services Tax Identification Number (GSTIN) to use for filing returns, paying taxes, and complying with GST regulations.

Amendment of GST Registration
Amendment of GST registration refers to updating or modifying the details originally provided during the registration. This process allows registered entities to change their registration information, such as business address, contact details, authorized signatories, or any other relevant information.
Types of GST Registration Amendments
GST registration amendments fall into three primary categories, each requiring different levels of authorization and timelines for implementation. Some amendments require justification as part of the registration process.
- Amendments to Core Fields
Changes in core fields relate to essential business details, such as the legal name of the business, primary business location, and key stakeholders (e.g., promoters or directors). These amendments require approval from the appropriate authorities and usually take up to 15 days for confirmation. - Amendments to Non-core Fields
Non-core field amendments cover updates to details that do not require approval from tax authorities. These changes can be made online directly, speeding up the process. Examples include updates to bank account details, business information, goods/services offered, or authorized signatories. - Contact Details Updates
Changes to email or mobile number associated with the GST account can be made through online verification on the GST portal, using OTP to ensure security and accuracy. No official approval is required for such changes.
Eligibility for GST Registration Amendment
The following taxpayers are eligible to file for a GST registration amendment:
- New Registrants & Normal Taxpayers
- TDS/TCS Registrants, UN Bodies, Embassies, Notified Persons with UIN
- Non-Resident Taxable Persons
- GST Practitioners
- Online Database Access or Retrieval Service Providers
GST Amendment – Changes to Business Name
If a business changes its legal name, the GST registration remains valid, and only the name on the GST registration needs to be amended. This can be done by submitting FORM GST REG-14 within 15 days after the name change. Once submitted, the GST Officer will approve the change within 15 working days using FORM GST REG-15.
GST Amendment – Changes to Address
For any changes in the business address, the business must file FORM REG-14 and provide proof of the new address. The documentation requirements depend on whether the premises are owned, rented, or leased. Changes must be updated within 15 days, and the GST office will approve the change within 15 days.
GST Amendment – Changes to Promoter Information
In cases of addition, deletion, or retirement of partners, directors, or other key stakeholders, a GST amendment application must be filed within 15 days of the event. The GST officer will approve or request additional information within 15 days.
GST Amendment – Changes to Mobile Number or Email ID
Changes to mobile numbers or email IDs linked to the GST registration can be made directly by the Authorized Signatory without needing an amendment application or officer approval. These are considered routine changes.
GST Amendment – Changes to PAN
Changes to the PAN details are not permitted under GST registration. If the business or PAN structure changes, a new GST registration application must be submitted using FORM GST REG-01.
