What is GST Registration? A Complete Guide by Mequintrax Digital Services

Goods and Services Tax (GST) Registration is a mandatory process for businesses and individuals engaged in the supply of goods or services whose turnover exceeds a certain threshold, as defined under Indian tax laws. It involves obtaining a unique GST Identification Number (GSTIN) from the government, which legally authorizes the business to collect GST on sales and claim input tax credits on purchases.

Keep Your GST Details Accurate and Compliant with Mequintrax Digital Services

After successfully obtaining your GST registration, it is essential to keep your registration details current to reflect any changes in your business. This process is known as GST Registration Amendment or GST update. It involves modifying or correcting the information initially provided during GST registration to ensure compliance with the tax authorities.

What is GST Registration Amendment?

GST Registration Amendment is the formal process of updating or correcting your GST registration data on the GST portal. Businesses often encounter situations where their registered details need to be revised due to operational changes or regulatory requirements. This amendment ensures that the GST department has the latest and most accurate information about your business.

Why is the GST Amendment Important?

Maintaining up-to-date GST registration details is critical for:

  • Legal Compliance: Accurate information ensures adherence to GST laws and regulations.
  • Smooth Tax Filing: Updated details prevent discrepancies during GST return filing and audit processes.
  • Avoidance of Penalties: Failure to update registration information can lead to penalties or legal issues.
  • Seamless Communication: Ensures you receive important notifications and updates from GST authorities without delay.
  • Business Credibility: Correct registration details maintain your business’s credibility with clients, vendors, and financial institutions.

Understanding Types of GST Registration Amendments

Once a business is registered under GST, certain circumstances may require updating or modifying the registered information. This process is known as GST amendment. Amendments ensure that the data maintained by the tax authorities accurately reflects the current business structure and operations. GST amendments are broadly classified into three main categories based on the nature of changes, the level of authorization required, and the processing timeline.

Categories of GST Amendments

  • 1. Amendments to Core Details

    Core details are fundamental elements that define the identity and structure of your business under GST. These include the legal business name, principal place of business, additional business locations, and changes in key stakeholders such as partners, promoters, or managing personnel.

    • Approval Required: Changes in core fields must be reviewed and authorized by a tax officer before becoming effective.
    • Processing Time: Typically takes up to 15 working days for verification and approval.
    • Why Important: These details directly influence your GST registration identity and compliance responsibilities.

    Examples of Core Field Changes:

    • Alteration of the business’s registered legal name (provided PAN remains the same)
    • Changing the main business address or adding/removing additional places of business within the same state
    • Modifications involving promoters, partners, Karta, CEO, or the governing committee

    2. Amendments to Non-Core Details

    Non-core details encompass the remaining registration information that does not require official approval. Businesses can directly update these fields on the GST portal, resulting in an instant or automatic update.

    • Approval Not Required: No intervention from tax officers is necessary.
    • Processing Time: Updates take effect immediately after submission.
    • Convenience: Facilitates quick changes without procedural delays.

    Common Non-Core Field Updates Include:


    • Revising contact information such as mobile number or email address
    • Updating bank account details linked to GST
    • Modifying business activities or the list of goods and services supplied
    • Adjustments in authorized signatories or representatives
    • Minor address tweaks within the same principal or additional business locations

Step-by-Step Amendment Filing Procedure

    • Access the GST Portal: Log in to the GST Common Portal and select the “Amendment of Registration” option.
    • Select Amendment Type: Choose whether your changes are core or non-core fields.
    • Update Details: Modify the relevant fields and upload supporting documents as needed (e.g., address proof, ID proofs).
    • Provide Reason and Date: Explain the reason for the change and specify the event date.
    • Submit Application: Complete the process by digitally signing the application using DSC, E-signature, or EVC.
    • Track Status: Receive an Application Reference Number (ARN) and monitor your application status online.
    • Approval or Automatic Update: Await officer approval for core amendments or enjoy instant updates for non-core fields.

    Note: You cannot submit a new amendment if a previous one is pending approval. Non-core changes can be updated independently unless a core amendment is in process.
