Overview of GST amendment

To make a GST amendment, file Form GST REG-14 on the GST portal within 15 days of the change. Non-core changes update the moment you submit. Core changes, such as a new legal name, a new business address or a new partner, wait for the tax officer, who must act within 15 working days. Below you will find which details fall under which type, what to upload, what the portal steps look like, and what happens if the officer raises a query.

Key Takeaways

Rule 19 of the CGST Rules, 2017 gives you 15 days from the change to apply in Form GST REG-14.
Core fields need the proper officer's approval. Non-core fields are updated automatically on submission.
A core amendment is approved in Form GST REG-15. If the officer sends a notice (REG-03), you have 7 working days to reply in REG-04.
The portal charges no government fee for an amendment. Costs arise only if you hire a professional.
Moving to a different state, or changing your PAN, is not an amendment. It needs a fresh registration.

Core and Non-Core Amendment in GST

The GST portal splits registration details into two groups. The split decides how long your change takes and who has to approve it.

Point Core amendment Non-core amendment
What it covers Legal name of business; principal or additional place of business (within the same state); adding, removing or retiring partners, directors, Karta, trustees or the person running the business Everything else: bank account details, goods and services supplied, authorised signatory details, contact information and similar entries
Who approves Proper officer, after verification No one; the portal updates the record
Time Up to 15 working days On submission
Order issued Form GST REG-15 Registration certificate updates on the portal
Query possible Yes, through Form GST REG-03 No
Documents Proof of the change, uploaded with the form Supporting document where the field asks for one
One classification gets disputed. Rule 19 names the legal name of the business as a core field, and some practitioner guides treat a change of trade name as core too. Open the amendment screen for the field you want to change and let the portal tell you which route it falls under. Do not assume.

What You Cannot Change Through an Amendment

Some changes are not amendments at all.

Your PAN. The GSTIN is built on it. If a change in the business constitution alters your PAN, you must register afresh. Our page on GST Registration Online covers that route.

Your state. A principal or additional place can be amended only within the same state. A move across state lines needs a new registration there. The old one may then be closed through GST Cancellation Service.

Anything while another core application is pending. Practitioner guides report that the portal blocks a second core amendment until the first is decided. Plan changes in sequence.

Documents Required and Fees

The documents depend on what you are changing. Upload them in the relevant tab of the form.

Change Documents usually needed
New principal or additional place of business Rent agreement with the owner's consent, or ownership proof such as a property tax receipt; recent electricity bill
Legal name Proof of the new name, such as a revised PAN record
Adding or removing a partner or director Partnership deed amendment, board resolution or similar document, plus the identity and address proofs of the person joining
Bank account details Bank statement or cancelled cheque
Trade name Supporting document, if the portal asks for one
There is no government charge for a GST amendment on the GST portal. The only cost is a professional's fee, if you use one.

Form GST REG-14 Filing: Step by Step

The steps below also answer a common question: how to change address in GST portal. An address change is a core amendment, so follow the core path.

1

Log in

Log in to the GST portal with your username and password.

2

Open the amendment form

Go to Services, then Registration, then Amendment of Registration Core Fields (or Non-Core Fields, as the change requires).

3

Pick the relevant tab

For an address change, use the Principal Place of Business tab. For partner or director changes, use the Promoter/Partners tab.

4

Edit the details

Make the change and write the reason for the amendment in the box provided.

5

Upload the supporting document

Upload the document for that field in the same tab. Keep the file clear and readable.

6

Verify and sign

Go to the Verification tab. Tick the declaration, choose the authorised signatory, and sign with your DSC or EVC, depending on your entity type.

7

Submit and note the ARN

The portal generates an ARN (Application Reference Number) and sends an acknowledgement to your registered mobile number and email.

8

Track and download

Track it under Services, then Registration, then Track Application Status. Once approved, download the revised registration certificate.

If you file a non-core amendment while a core one is still running, the portal asks whether you want to proceed. Read the prompt before you click through.

GST Amendment Time Limit and Approval Process

The time limit to apply is 15 days from the date of the change, under Rule 19(1) of the CGST Rules. The same period applies to core and non-core changes. The approval process for a core amendment runs like this:

1

You file REG-14 and receive an ARN.

2

The proper officer reviews the application and the documents.

3

Within 15 working days the officer either approves the amendment through Form GST REG-15, or issues a notice in Form GST REG-03 asking for clarification.

4

If you get a notice, reply in Form GST REG-04 within 7 working days.

5

The officer then passes an order on the amendment.

The rules also provide that if the officer takes no action within the prescribed period, the registration is treated as amended as applied. Do not rely on that as a plan. Deemed approval can leave you without an order to show a bank or a customer, so chase the officer if the date passes.

Missing the 15-day window carries consequences under the CGST Act, and a mismatched address or name creates problems on invoices and returns. Update your invoice templates the day the amendment is approved, and check that your next GSTR-1 Return Filing shows the new details. That last point is practical advice from us, not a statutory rule.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? Find clear answers from our legal advisory team:

The GST portal charges nothing for an amendment. Professional fees apply only if you engage someone to file it.

An address change is a core amendment, so the officer has up to 15 working days to decide. A clean application with correct documents tends to move faster than one that triggers a notice.

No. Both stay fixed. A PAN change requires a fresh registration.

No. Amendments cover addresses within the same state only.

You will receive a notice and a chance to explain. Reply in Form GST REG-04 within 7 working days, with documents that answer the objection.

Bank details are a non-core field, so you update them on the portal yourself, and the change takes effect on submission. Do it within 15 days of the change.
