Types of GST Modifications
Modifying your GST registration can be straightforward but differs based on the type of change. We categorize these modifications into two key types: Core Fields and Non-Core Fields, each with distinct procedures and timelines.
Modifications to Core Fields
Core fields include essential business information that affects your legal identity under GST. These modifications typically involve:
Legal Business Name (provided your PAN stays the same)
Main and Additional Business Locations (within the same state)
Key Stakeholders such as promoters, partners, or CEOs
Since these changes impact significant business details, they require approval from GST authorities. GSTMitra ensures your modification request is accurately prepared and submitted, so you receive confirmation within the standard 15-day timeframe.
Modifications to Non-Core Fields
Non-core field modifications involve details that don’t need approval from the authorities. These include:
Bank Account Details
Updates to Goods and Services Offered
Changes in Authorized Representatives
Minor Adjustments to Business Locations (within the same state)
With GSTMitra, these updates are processed smoothly and directly through the GST portal, ensuring your information remains current without the hassle of waiting for official approval.
