The government has announced a new feature into the GST system which will allow all the taxpayers to change the mobile number and email id of the particular taxpayers himself within the GST system.

The complaint earlier came in the scanner that most of the time authorized personnel who were designated for the application of registration had used their own contact details at the time of registration.

The finance ministry mentioned in the statement that, “the intermediaries who were authorized by them to apply for GST registration on their behalf had used their own email and mobile number during the process.”

This particular reason had let the government take such a technical step allowing taxpayers for modification in the contact details i.e. mobile number and email id.
