GST Amendment · Panaji, Goa
GST registration amendment advisory in Goa — core field changes (REG-14), non-core field updates, officer query response, and GST certificate correction by qualified Chartered Accountants in Panaji.
Overview
The GST registration certificate reflects the legal identity of your business with the GST department. When any registered particulars change — name, address, business structure, signatories, bank accounts, or additional places of business — the GSTIN must be updated within 15 days of the change. Outdated registration creates mismatches in e-invoicing, e-way bills, and GSTR filings — all of which invite notices.
The amendment process distinguishes between core fields (requiring GST officer approval via Form REG-14) and non-core fields (auto-updated on the portal). Our GST Registration Change & Amendment service covers every type of amendment. We also handle officer queries under Form REG-03 that arise during core field amendment review.

Frequently asked questions
You can change: legal name, principal place of business address, partners/directors/Karta/Managing Committee (core fields requiring officer approval); additional places of business, bank account details, authorised signatory, goods and services supplied, HSN/SAC codes, and contact details (non-core fields, auto-approved). Trade name can also be changed as a non-core field. You cannot change the state of registration or the PAN of the registered entity through an amendment — those require cancellation and fresh registration.
Log in to the GST portal, go to 'Registration' → 'Amendment of Registration (Core Fields)', make the required changes, upload supporting documents, and submit. The application is assigned to the concerned GST officer, who must approve or query within 15 working days. Track the application status under 'Track Application Status' and respond promptly to any REG-03 query.
Changes in the constitution of business — such as conversion from a proprietorship to a partnership or a company — cannot be done through a GST amendment. They require cancellation of the existing registration and fresh registration in the new entity's name. A change of partners within an existing partnership firm can, however, be done through a core field amendment with the revised partnership deed.
An amendment within the same state does not affect ITC. But if the business relocates to a different state, the existing GSTIN is cancelled, and a new registration is obtained in the new state. ITC balance in the electronic credit ledger of the old GSTIN can be transferred to the new GSTIN using Form GST ITC-02 (transfer of ITC on account of merger, demerger, or change in constitution) — subject to furnishing the required undertaking and verification.
Aadhaar re-authentication is required when changing the primary authorised signatory — the new signatory must complete Aadhaar e-KYC verification. For other non-core field changes, Aadhaar authentication of the existing primary signatory is sufficient to authenticate the submission. For core field amendments, the application must be signed by the existing authorised signatory with their DSC or EVC.
After the amendment is approved (or auto-applied for non-core fields), log in to the GST portal → 'User Services' → 'View/Download Certificates'. The updated Form GST REG-06 will reflect the amended particulars. Print and display the updated certificate at all places of business, and update all tax invoices, letterheads, and official correspondence with any changed particulars.
