Question 1

What is the difference between Core and Non-Core GST amendments?

Accepted Answer

Core amendments involve changes to key business details like legal business name, principal/additional place of business address, or addition/deletion of partners, directors, or managing trustees (requiring tax officer approval within 15 days). Non-Core amendments involve changes to mobile numbers, email IDs, authorized representatives, or bank accounts, which are approved instantly via automated OTP.

Question 2

What is the time limit to inform the GST department about a business change?

Accepted Answer

Under Rule 19 of CGST Rules, you must submit Form GST REG-14 within 15 days of any change in business details (such as moving offices or appointing new directors). Delaying amendments can lead to verification notices and postal delivery failures.

Question 3

Can I add a new branch or warehouse to my existing GST registration?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can add multiple Additional Places of Business (APOB) within the same state under your existing GSTIN by submitting Form GST REG-14 along with premises proof and rent agreement. If the new branch is in a different state, a fresh GST registration is required.

Question 4

What documents are required to change my registered office address in GST?

Accepted Answer

You need the latest electricity bill or municipal tax receipt (< 2 months old) of the new address, a registered rent agreement or lease deed, and a Landlord Consent Letter/NOC. TaxQue pre-formats the landlord NOC to prevent officer rejection.

Question 5

How long does it take to get a Core amendment approved by the GST officer?

Accepted Answer

Core amendments are processed by the jurisdictional tax officer within 15 working days. If the officer requests clarification (Form GST REG-03), our team files the legal response (Form GST REG-04) to secure prompt approval.

Question 6

Can I change the PAN card linked to an existing GST registration?

Accepted Answer

No. A GSTIN is uniquely tied to a 10-digit PAN. If your business entity structure changes (e.g. converting a Proprietorship to a Private Limited company or Partnership), the PAN changes, which requires surrendering the old GSTIN and applying for a brand new GST registration. TaxQue manages both cancellation and new setup seamlessly.

Question 7

How do I add a new Director or Partner to my GST certificate?

Accepted Answer

Our team drafts Form GST REG-14, uploads the new Director/Partner's PAN, Aadhaar, photograph, and Board Resolution/Partnership Deed, and authenticates the submission using Class 3 DSC or authorized signatory OTP.

Question 8

Who will manage our GST amendment application at TaxQue?

Accepted Answer

A dedicated GST legal consultant prepares your amendment application, verifies the legal documents, and tracks the ARN daily until the updated GST Certificate (Form GST REG-06) is issued.

Question 9

Can I update the authorized primary email address and mobile number?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Changing the primary email and mobile number is a Non-Core amendment that takes only a few minutes via dual OTP verification sent to the new contact details. Our team coordinates this live with you.

Question 10

What is the procedure for updating bank account details in GST?

Accepted Answer

Under Rule 10A, you can add or modify your active current bank account by uploading a clear cancelled cheque or bank statement showing the entity name, account number, and IFSC code. Non-compliance can lead to automated GSTIN suspension.

Question 11

What if the GST officer rejects our amendment application?

Accepted Answer

If an officer raises an objection or clarification notice (REG-03), our CA team drafts a comprehensive written legal response with supporting annexures within 7 days. If an improper rejection occurs, we assist with escalation and rectification.

Question 12

Can I change my business trade name while keeping the legal name?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can modify or add a Trade Name (e.g. your consumer brand name) under Core amendments while retaining your official registered entity name on the GST master database.

Question 13

Does changing our business address impact our ongoing e-Way bills or invoicing?

Accepted Answer

No. Your 15-digit GSTIN remains identical. Once the amendment is approved and Form GST REG-06 is re-issued, you simply update the printed address on your sales invoices and e-way bill profiles.

Question 14

How many HSN or SAC service codes can I add to my GST profile?

Accepted Answer

You can add your top 5 primary goods (HSN) and top 5 primary service (SAC) codes to your registration certificate, and declare additional codes in monthly GSTR-1 returns. TaxQue ensures accurate classification.

Question 15

What is the fee for GST amendment with TaxQue?

Accepted Answer

We charge a transparent, fixed fee per amendment application, covering document verification, form drafting, and post-filing officer query resolution with zero hidden charges.

Question 16

How will I know when my GST amendment is completed?

Accepted Answer

Once approved by the department, the updated Registration Certificate (Form GST REG-06) reflecting the new address, partners, or trade name is made available on the GST portal. We download and deliver the official updated certificate to you.
