What is GST Modification?

GST Modification refers to the process of updating or amending your existing GST registration details with the Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN). Businesses often go through changes such as shifting their office, altering the business structure, updating contact details, or appointing a new authorized signatory.

To ensure compliance, such changes must be promptly reported and approved via a formal GST amendment application. Failing to update details may result in penalties, legal notices, or blocked GST returns.

Whether it’s a core amendment (like business name, principal address) or a non-core amendment (like email or phone number), our team ensures accurate, timely, and hassle-free modifications with proper documentation and tracking.
