GST Amendment
Should the GST Portal alter inaccurate data about a taxed individual, it might necessitate a modification to the GST registration. This blog post talks about how to fix mistakes on GST registration certificates. We’ll talk about how to change your GST address, name, phone number, or trade name.
Eligibility Criteria
Anyone who falls into one of the following categories and has registered for GST can amend their registration application:
- Normal Taxpayers and New Registrants
- TDS/TCS Registrants, UN Bodies, Embassies, and Other Notified Persons with UINs
- GST Practitioner
- Database Access or Retrieval Service Provider
- Non-resident Taxable Person
Changes to Business Name
If your business needs to change its GST name, you don’t need to cancel the GST registration certificate. You can change the name of your current GST register to match your new business name. On the GST portal, you can make changes by submitting FORM GST REG-14 within 15 days of the business name change.
Within 15 business days of receiving your application, the GST Officer must check it and accept the change to the business name on FORM GST REG-15. The amendment will take effect from the date of the triggering event upon its approval.
Changes to Address
If you change the GST address of your principal place of business or any additional location, you must submit GST FORM REG-14. To change your GST registration, you must include proof of the new address in the application. Here are a few examples of valid address proofs:
- For Own Premises: Any document that supports the premises’ ownership, including the most recent property tax receipt, a copy of the municipal khata, or a copy of the electricity bill.
- For rented/leased premises where the rent/lease agreement is not available: The affidavit should include any document supporting the premises’ ownership, such as a copy of the electricity bill.
- If the principal place of business is in an SEZ or the applicant is an SEZ developer: it is mandatory to submit the necessary documents and certificates issued by the Government of India.
In the GST Portal, you have to change all of your GST address changes within 15 days of the change. The GST office will authorize the change within 15 days of receiving your application to modify your GST address. The date of amendment upon officer approval would correspond to the date of the event that necessitated the amendment.
Changes to Mobile Number or Email ID
Following an online verification process, the Authorized Signatory may alter the mobile number or email ID specified on the GST Common Portal by using their digital signature. A GST amendment application or verification by an officer are not necessary for changes to a mobile number or email address. Changes to the email or mobile number of the GST common portal are regarded as routine.
Changes to PAN
If a business or PAN undergoes changes, you cannot submit a GST Amendment application. To modify your PAN, you must submit a new GST registration application in Form GST REG-01.
Changes to Promoter Information
The addition, removal, or retirement of partners or directors, Karta, Managing Committee, Board of Trustees, Chief Executive Officer, or an equivalent, who is in charge of the firm’s day-to-day operations, requires that you file a GST amendment application within 15 days.
The new GST amendment application must include information about the new promoter, such as identification documentation, proof of address, and a photo, in addition to a GST Declaration for Authorized Signatory.
The concerned authority will either authorize the change or ask for more details within 15 days after receiving the application for a GST revision.

Time Limit for GST Amendment
If the taxpayer changes information that was changed on the GST common portal, they must file a GST amendment application within 15 days of the event that caused the change. The relevant officer must approve the GST amendment application within 15 working days of its receipt, following a thorough review. Once approved, the amendment will become effective from the date of the triggering event.
If the concerned officer deems the application for GST amendment unwarranted or the accompanying documents incomplete or inaccurate, they may issue a notice to the assessee, requiring them to provide additional information or clarification within 15 days. The notice requires the assessee to provide clarification or supplementary information within seven days. If the taxpayer’s information is satisfactory, the officer may authorize the application for a GST amendment. The GST officer has the authority to deny the amendment application if the information is considered unacceptable.
A GST officer must act within 15 working days of receiving an amendment request, or within 7 working days of receiving clarification or additional information in response to a notice. If they fail to comply, the requested changes to the certificate of registration will take place, and the registered person will have access to the updated certificate on the Common Portal.
Summary
In this blog post, there are changes you can make to your GST registration information. These changes can be to the business name, address, mobile number, email address, or information about the founder. Normal taxpayers, UN bodies, as well as non-resident taxpayers are all eligible to change their GST registration. This can be done by sending back FORM GST REG-14 within 15 days of the change. Different documents are required depending on the type of change, and the GST officer has 15 business days to accept it. When you change your phone number or email address, you don’t need to get officer approval, but when you change your PAN, you need to re-register. If applicants need to give more information, they must do so within 7 days. Within 15 days, the officer will decide whether to approve or deny the application.
