GST Modification

What is GST Registration Modification?

Any changes made in the GST Registration or the details entered in the GST certificate are referred to as GST modification or update. After receipt of GST Registration Certificate, if you wish to modify any fields such as name, address, email ID, contact details, you need to apply for GST Modification request.

GST Modification is divided into two parts: Core Fields and Non-Core Fields. Core Field changes require supporting documents to be attached while applying. Non-Core Fields can be updated without submitting any proofs.

Non-Core Fields include email ID, Phone number, any minor changes, while Core Fields include Change in Address, Add a place of Business etc. You may get in touch with us for any related further query.

Changes or Updation not Possible for PAN or State:

The PAN number cannot be changed for a particular GST registration. In this case, there is any mistake in the PAN number or a change in the PAN due to a change in the constitution of business (like proprietor to partnership). Then, the applicant will have no other choice except to file for a fresh registration.

It is because the GSTIN number is based on the PAN and GSTIN gets changed. Likewise, if there is a change in the principal place of business from one State to another, GSTIN gets modified. Therefore, it also requires the cancellation of existing registration and application for a new GST registration.
