-

Act Now to Avoid Suspension of Your GST Registration.

Team GSTN has issued a crucial advisory (November 20th, 2025) reminding taxpayers of the mandatory requirement to furnish bank account details as stipulated under Rule 10A of the CGST Rules. Compliance with this rule is essential to prevent disruption to your business and potential suspension of your GST registration.

The Mandatory Requirement of Rule 10A

As per Rule 10A, all taxpayers must submit their bank account details within a strict timeframe after obtaining GST registration:

Compliance Deadline:

  • Deadline: Bank details must be furnished within 30 days of grant of registration, OR before filing details of outward supplies in GSTR-1 or IFF (Invoice Furnishing Facility), whichever is earlier.
  • Exclusions: This rule does not apply to taxpayers registered under TCS (Tax Collected at Source), TDS (Tax Deducted at Source), or suo-moto registrations.

Urgency and Procedure for Updation

The GSTN advises that changes related to Rule 10A implementation will be live on the GST Portal soon. Therefore, taxpayers who have not yet furnished their bank account details are urged to update the same at the earliest to prevent adverse actions.

Consequences of Non-Compliance:

Failure to comply can lead to suspension of their GST Registration and subsequent disruption of business activities.

Procedure for Amendment (Non-Core Fields):

Bank account details can be added through a non-core amendment by navigating to:

Services > Registration > Amendment of Registration Non-Core Fields.

Professional Insight: Key Takeaway 💡

This advisory confirms that the systematic enforcement of Rule 10A is imminent. Taxpayers who received registration but have not yet filed their first GSTR-1 (or IFF) must treat the 30-day window as a hard deadline. Immediate amendment is necessary to safeguard the GSTIN and ensure compliance continuity.
