GST Amendment (Change Registration Details)
Need to update your GST registration — address, business name, partners/directors, contact or additional place of business? We file the amendment (REG-14) correctly, whether it's a core or non-core change.
Quick answer
A change in your registration particulars must be reported in FORM GST REG-14 within fifteen days of the change, under Rule 19(1). Core fields are approved by the officer within fifteen working days in FORM GST REG-15; non-core fields amend on submission. Rule 19(1A) bars backdating the change earlier than the REG-14 date except by the Commissioner's order, so filing late costs you the earlier effective date permanently.

Overview
What is GST Amendment (Change Registration Details)?
A GST amendment updates the details on your registration — like the principal place of business, trade/legal name, additional places of business, partners or directors, or contact details.
Rule 19(1) gives you fifteen days. Where there is any change in the particulars furnished in the registration application or the certificate, the registered person must, within fifteen days of the change, submit an application electronically in FORM GST REG-14 with documents. Core fields — legal name, principal or additional place of business, and addition, deletion or retirement of partners, directors, Karta, Managing Committee members, Board of Trustees or the Chief Executive Officer — need the proper officer's approval, granted within fifteen working days in FORM GST REG-15, effective from the date of the event. Non-core fields amend on submission, without approval.
Two limits are worth knowing before you delay. Rule 19(1A) bars the amendment taking effect from a date earlier than the date of submission of the REG-14 except by order of the Commissioner — so a late filing does not get backdated to when you actually moved, and the intervening period is a period you operated from an unregistered address. And a change in constitution that results in a change of PAN cannot be amended at all: it requires a fresh application in FORM GST REG-01, because the GSTIN is built on the PAN.
A separate fifteen-day clock catches new registrants. Rule 10A requires bank account details to be furnished within thirty days of the grant of registration, or before filing the first GSTR-1 or IFF, whichever is earlier — as substituted by Notification 38/2023-Central Tax. That is no longer just paperwork: Rule 21A(2A)(b) makes a Rule 10A contravention a suspension trigger, with FORM GST REG-31 and thirty days to explain.
We identify the field type, prepare the right supporting proof, and file the amendment (REG-14) so your registration stays accurate and notice-free. If the change is that you now operate in another State, that is a fresh registration there rather than an amendment — see virtual office for GST.

FAQs
GST Amendment (Change Registration Details) — frequently asked questions
What is a GST amendment?
An update to your GST registration particulars — such as address, trade name, partners/directors, bank or contact details — filed in form REG-14.
What is the difference between core and non-core fields?
Core fields (legal name, principal place of business, partners/directors) need officer approval; non-core fields (most contact details) are usually updated automatically.
How long does an amendment take, and how long do I have to file it?
Two different clocks. You have fifteen days from the change to submit FORM GST REG-14, under Rule 19(1). The officer then has fifteen working days to approve a core-field change, in FORM GST REG-15, effective from the date of the event that occasioned it. Non-core changes take effect on submission, with no approval step. The consequence of missing your fifteen days is not just a delay: Rule 19(1A) provides that the amendment shall not take effect from a date earlier than the date of submission of the application, except by order of the Commissioner — so the period between the actual change and your filing stays on record as a period when your registration did not match reality.
What if the change means my PAN changes?
Then it is not an amendment at all. Rule 19(1) expressly excludes a change in constitution of business resulting in a change of the Permanent Account Number — that requires a fresh application for registration in FORM GST REG-01. The GSTIN embeds the PAN in its middle ten characters, so a new PAN necessarily means a new GSTIN. In practice this covers a proprietorship converting to a partnership, LLP or company. It is a materially bigger exercise than an amendment and it needs sequencing against your existing registration, so it is worth planning rather than discovering.
Do I need to amend GST if I move office?
Yes — the principal place of business is a core field. Operating from an unregistered address can trigger verification and notices.
Can I add a new branch or warehouse?
Yes, as an additional place of business via amendment, with the relevant address proof and NOC.
Is there a fee to amend?
No government portal fee; only our professional fee, which varies for core vs non-core changes.
What proof do I need to change my address?
Valid address proof for the new premises (ownership/utility bill or rent agreement) plus an NOC where applicable.
Can I change the proprietor or constitution?
A change in constitution (e.g. proprietorship to company) usually needs a fresh registration, not just an amendment. We advise on the right route.
