🧾 What is GST Registration Amendment?
GST Amendment refers to the process of updating or modifying the information submitted during initial GST registration. These updates could include:
- Change in business name
- Change in address
- Updating contact details
- Modifying bank details
- Adding/removing stakeholders or partners
Amendments help businesses remain compliant with regulations and avoid penalties due to outdated or incorrect information.
🏢 Who Can File a GST Amendment?
The following categories of taxpayers are eligible to file a GST amendment:
🔍 Types of GST Registration Amendments
GST registration amendments are classified into three categories based on the type of field being updated:
1️⃣ Core Field Amendments (🛂 Requires Approval)
These include essential business details like:
- Legal name of the business (without PAN change)
- Principal and additional places of business (within the same state)
- Addition/removal of stakeholders (partners, Karta, CEO, etc.)
🕒 Approval Timeline: Usually within 15 working days.
2️⃣ Non-Core Field Amendments (⚙️ Auto-Approved)
These fields can be updated directly through the GST portal without officer approval, such as:
- Bank account details
- Email ID or mobile number
- Goods and services details
- State-specific information (excluding state change)
- Authorized signatories
🎯 Processing Time: Instantly or within a few hours.
3️⃣ PAN-Based Amendments (🔄 New Registration Required)
Changes that require a change in PAN, such as business constitution changes or shifting from one state to another, cannot be done through an amendment. A new GST registration must be applied for in such cases.
