GSTN: Last Day to Update Bank Account Details before GST Registration is Auto-Suspended [Read Order]
Failure to update the bank account details timely manner can prevent taxpayers from generating invoices, filing returns, or continuing regular business on the GST system.
The Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN) has urged entities with Goods and Services Tax (GST) registration to update their bank account details on the GST Portal immediately, failing which the GST registrations may face auto-suspension.
The enforcement is scheduled to take effect on 2nd December 2025, making today the last day for taxpayers to complete the update to avoid disruption of business activities.
GSTN, in an earlier advisory dated November 20, 2025 had informed that taxpayers except those registered under for Tax Collected at Source (TCS), Tax Deducted at Source (TDS), or suo-moto registrations must furnish their bank account details within 30 days from the date of grant of GST registration or before filing outward supplies through GSTR-1 or the Invoice Furnishing Facility (IFF), whichever may be earlier.
The GSTN has issued the latest warning after noting that several taxpayers have still not provided up-to-date details of their bank accounts on the portal.
Under Rule 10A of the Central GST Rules, 2017, taxpayers must mandatorily provide details of their operative bank accounts on the GST Portal. Rule 21A empowers the system to automatically suspend GST registration for failure to comply, meaning that non-updated taxpayers will not be able to issue invoices or file returns until the suspension is lifted.
Suspension of GST registration would interrupt day-to-day operations of entities, including difficulties with their tax and credit ledgers, e-invoicing and outward supply filings.
Trends showed that many registrants maintained unregistered, undisclosed bank accounts, curbing the department’s ability to track their business-related activities. The latest enforcement ensures that all bank accounts linked to business activities are properly reported, enabling greater transparency and preventing compliance gaps.
GSTN reiterated that updating bank details is a simple process and can be completed by navigating to:
Services → Registration → Amendment of Registration (Non-Core Fields) → Bank Accounts.
Taxpayers must provide their account number, IFSC, and supporting documents such as a cancelled cheque, bank statement, or the first page of a passbook. Authentication can be done via Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) or Electronic Verification Code (EVC). A maximum of 10 bank accounts may be added under a single GSTIN.
Failure to comply with the deadline will prevent taxpayers from generating invoices, filing returns, or continuing regular business on the GST system. GSTN has therefore urged all businesses including those making interstate supplies, e-commerce sellers, Non-Resident Taxable Persons, casual taxable persons, Input Service Distributors, and reverse-charge taxpayers, to verify and update their bank account information immediately.
