Form GST REG-06 — Goods & Services Tax certificate sample
Illustrative sample. Your official certificate is issued after approval.
GST Registration Amendment is the process of modifying or updating the details furnished during GST registration on the GST portal. Under Section 28 of the CGST Act, 2017, every registered taxpayer who needs to change any particulars of their registration — business name, address, partners, contact details, etc. — must apply by filing Form GST REG-14.
Amendments fall into two categories: Core Field Amendments (legal name, principal place of business, partners/directors) that require verification and approval by the proper officer within 15 working days, and Non-Core Field Amendments (email, mobile, bank account, authorised signatory) that are auto-approved on submission. Keeping details current is a legal obligation; failure can lead to compliance issues or proceedings for suspension or cancellation.
| Aspect | Core Field Amendment | Non-Core Field Amendment |
|---|---|---|
| Fields covered | Legal name, principal place of business, addition/deletion of partners/directors | Email, mobile, bank account, authorised signatory, additional place of business |
| Approval | Proper officer verification and approval | Auto-approved on submission |
| Timeline | Up to 15 working days | Instant / same day |
| Deemed approval | Yes, if officer does not act within 15 working days | N/A |
| SCN | Possible (REG-18) if officer not satisfied | Not applicable |
| Documents | Extensive (RoC, deeds, rent agreements, resolutions) | Minimal (cheque, ID, authorisation) |
| Effective date | Date of order / deemed approval | Date of submission |
