GST AMENDMENT

GST Amendment allows businesses to update or correct their GST registration details in response to changes—such as changes to business name, address, ownership, or structure. For exporters and importers, timely GST amendments help maintain compliance, ensure smooth operations, and maximize benefits under the GST regime.


What is GST Amendment?

GST Amendment is the official process to modify registered details under India’s Goods and Services Tax. Businesses must notify changes, big or small, within 15 days of the event that triggers the amendment—like adding partners, changing the address, or updating legal business information. Documents Required for GST Amendment


Depending on the changes sought, you may need:

  • Proof of updated business address (utility bill, rent agreement, property tax receipt).
  • Board resolution or authorization letter (for changes in directors, partners, or promoters).
  • Identity and PAN cards of new or outgoing individuals (partners, directors, Karta, etc.).
  • Certificate of incorporation or business registration proof.
  • Supporting documents for any change in core or non-core information.

These documents are submitted online via the GST portal, and you must state the reason and date for the amendment in your application.
