Changed your business address, added a new partner, or updated your trade name? Learn how to amend your GST registration online through the GST portal. Core fields require officer approval while non-core fields are auto-approved instantly.
These changes affect the fundamental identity of your registration and need verification:
Must match PAN records. Submit PAN alteration proof if PAN name changed.
State change = new registration required. Within-state address change = amendment.
Upload partnership deed amendment or board resolution.
E.g., proprietorship to partnership. May require new registration in some cases.

No. GSTIN is PAN-based and state-specific. It cannot be changed through amendment. If PAN changes (e.g., proprietorship to company), you must cancel existing registration and apply for new one.
If the officer rejects the core field amendment, you receive REG-05 (rejection notice) with reasons. You can file a fresh amendment application after rectifying the issues, or appeal within 30 days.
Amendments should be filed within 15 days of the change occurring. While there's no strict penalty for late amendments, it's important to keep registration details current to avoid compliance issues.
Yes, certain amendments like address change can be made with a past effective date. However, the effective date cannot be before the date of registration. Officer discretion applies for retrospective core field changes.
There's no limit on the number of amendments. You can amend as many times as needed. Each amendment is processed independently.
