GST amendment is the process of updating your GST registration details when your business information changes — such as trade name, principal place of business, partner/director details, bank accounts, or authorized signatory. All amendments are filed through Form GST REG-14 on the GST portal as per Section 28 of the CGST Act and Rule 19 of the CGST Rules. Changes must be filed within 15 days of the event requiring the amendment. Our GST amendment service handles both core and non-core field changes with proper documentation, portal filing, and officer follow-up.
| Core Fields (Officer Approval Required) | Non-Core Fields (Auto-Approved) |
|---|---|
| Legal name of business (without PAN change) | Trade name of business |
| Principal place of business (within same state) | Mobile number and email address |
| Additional place of business (within same state) | Bank account details |
| Addition/removal of partners, directors, karta, trustees, CEO | Authorized signatory details |
| Nature of business activity, HSN/SAC codes |
Relocated your office, warehouse, or factory within the same state? Principal or additional place of business address must be updated via core field amendment.
New partner joined, director resigned, or managing committee changed? All changes in promoters, partners, or directors must be filed within 15 days.
Spelling mistake in trade name, rebranding, or updating the business name displayed on invoices and the GST portal — filed as a non-core amendment.
Changed your bank account, added a new account, or switched banks? Bank details must be updated on the GST portal for refund processing and compliance.
Our team handles the complete GST amendment process — from identifying the correct field category to filing Form REG-14 and following up with the officer for core field approvals.
We determine whether your change falls under core fields (officer approval required, 15 working days) or non-core fields (auto-approved instantly). This determines the process, timeline, and documentation needed.
We prepare and verify all supporting documents — address proof for location change, board resolution for director changes, partnership deed for partner additions, or bank statements for account updates. Documents are uploaded to the GST portal in the required format.
The amendment application is filed on the GST portal through Form REG-14 with the reason for amendment, effective date, and supporting documents. Submitted using DSC or EVC. An ARN is generated upon successful submission.
For core field amendments, the jurisdictional officer reviews and approves within 15 working days. If a notice or query is raised, we handle the response. If no action is taken within 15 days, the amendment is deemed approved automatically.
Upon approval, the updated GST registration certificate (Form GST REG-06) is issued reflecting the amended details. For non-core changes, the update is reflected immediately upon submission. The effective date of amendment is the date of REG-14 submission, not the approval date.
| Aspect | Core Field Amendment | Non-Core Field Amendment |
|---|---|---|
| Approval | Officer approval required | Auto-approved on submission |
| Timeline | Up to 15 working days | Immediate |
| Documents | Supporting docs mandatory | May require supporting docs |
| Effective Date | Date of REG-14 submission | Date of REG-14 submission |
| Certificate Update | REG-06 updated after approval (REG-15) | REG-06 updated immediately |
Filing a GST amendment incorrectly — wrong field category, incomplete documents, or missing the 15-day deadline — can lead to rejection, delays, or compliance issues. Our team assesses your amendment type, prepares all required documentation, files Form REG-14 accurately, and follows up with the jurisdictional officer for core field approvals. We ensure your GST registration certificate is updated correctly and on time.
Simple, transparent pricing — pick the plan that fits.
A GST amendment updates your registration details when business information changes — trade name, principal place of business, partner/director details, bank accounts or authorised signatory. It is filed through Form GST REG-14 on the GST portal under Section 28 of the CGST Act and Rule 19 of the CGST Rules. It keeps your GST registration records accurate and compliant.
Core fields affect your legal identity and require jurisdictional officer approval — legal name of business (without PAN change), principal place of business, and addition/deletion of promoters/partners/directors. Non-core fields are auto-approved on submission — trade name, contact details (mobile/email), bank accounts, and most additional places of business. The field type determines the approval path and timeline.
Any change in registration particulars must be reported by filing Form REG-14 within 15 days of the event requiring the amendment, as per the CGST Rules. Filing promptly avoids mismatches between your records and the GST portal that can complicate return filing, e-invoicing and ITC claims.
Non-core field amendments are auto-approved instantly on submission. Core field amendments require officer review and are approved within 15 working days; if the officer takes no action within that period, the amendment is deemed approved automatically. We follow up with the jurisdictional officer for core amendments to keep them moving.
Supporting documents depend on the change: address proof (electricity bill, rent agreement, NOC) for a place-of-business change; a board resolution for director changes; an amended partnership deed for partner changes; and bank statements/cancelled cheque for account updates. We prepare and verify the right documents so the amendment is not rejected for insufficient proof.
The effective date of amendment is generally the date of submission of Form REG-14, not the date the officer approves it. Once approved, an updated registration certificate (Form GST REG-06) is issued reflecting the amended particulars. For certain changes the date of the actual event may apply — we confirm the correct effective date for your case.
An amendment cannot be used where the change is fundamental. A change in PAN (e.g. proprietorship converting to a company) or a change of state for the principal place of business requires a fresh GST registration — the old registration must then be cancelled separately. We advise whether your situation needs an amendment or a new registration.
Typical issues are incomplete or mismatched supporting documents, an address proof that doesn’t match the entered details, missing board resolution/deed for promoter changes, or a signatory/DSC mismatch. For core fields, the officer may issue a clarification notice. We pre-verify documentation and respond to any officer query promptly to avoid rejection.
An amendment updates particulars of an active registration (Form REG-14, Section 28). A cancellation deactivates the GSTIN entirely (Form REG-16, Section 29) when the business closes, falls below the threshold, or changes constitution. If you only need to correct details, amend; if you are winding down or your PAN/state changes, cancellation (plus a fresh registration) is the right route.
After filing Form REG-14, an ARN is generated for tracking on the GST portal. Non-core changes reflect immediately; for core changes you can track the officer’s action against the 15-working-day window. On approval, the updated Form GST REG-06 certificate is available for download with the amended details. We monitor status and confirm the change is correctly recorded.
