The Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN) has released an important advisory that all taxpayers should take note of, especially those who recently obtained GST registration. As per the latest update dated November 20, 2025, the GST Portal will soon begin implementing changes related to Rule 10A of the GST Rules. This rule governs the furnishing of bank account details after registration—and compliance with it is crucial for keeping your GSTIN active.
What Rule 10A Requires
Rule 10A mandates that every taxpayer—except those registered under TCS, TDS, or those who received suo-motu registration—must furnish their bank account details within a specific timeframe. The deadline is:
- Within 30 days of receiving GST registration, or
- Before filing outward supply details in GSTR-1 or IFF,
whichever comes earlier
This means that the moment your GST registration is approved, you must promptly add valid bank account details to the portal, even before initiating your regular monthly compliance activities.
Why This Matters: Consequences of Non-Compliance
GSTN has clearly stated that taxpayers who fail to furnish their bank account details may face suspension of their GST registration. A suspended registration can cause significant business disruption, including:
- Inability to file returns
- Inability to generate e-invoices
- Possible interruption in issuing invoices
- Potential complications in movement of goods
- Impact on input tax credit for both the taxpayer and their recipients
Since GST compliance is closely tied to the continuity of day-to-day business activities, updating bank account details on time is essential.
How to Update Bank Account Details on the GST Portal
If you have not yet provided your bank information or need to update it, the process is simple. GSTN has clarified that bank account details can be furnished through a non-core amendment. Here’s how:
- Log in to the GST Portal
- Go to:
Services > Registration > Amendment of Registration (Non-Core Fields) - Choose the section for bank account details
- Add or update the required information
- Upload the necessary documents (such as a canceled cheque, bank statement, or passbook)
- Submit the amendment for verification
Once processed, your GST profile will reflect the updated bank details.
GSTN’s Call to Action
GSTN has strongly advised all taxpayers who have not yet furnished their bank account information to do so at the earliest. With the Rule 10A changes set to be implemented soon on the GST Portal, timely action will help avoid disruptions and ensure smooth business operations.
Final Thoughts
Compliance with GST rules is essential not only from a regulatory perspective but also for maintaining seamless trade and tax flow. The updated advisory on furnishing bank account details reinforces the importance of keeping your GST profile complete and accurate. As the GST Portal gears up to enforce Rule 10A more strictly, now is the perfect time to review your registration details and ensure everything is in place.
If you or your organization has recently registered under GST, don’t delay—update your bank account details today and stay compliant.
