Licenses & registrations
We handle your GST registered-address change end-to-end. Same-state move: a FORM GST REG-14 core-field amendment filed within the 15-day deadline. Cross-state move: a GSTIN is state-specific, so we manage voluntarily cancelling your existing GSTIN and registering fresh in the new state instead. We tell you which branch applies before we scope the engagement.
Moving your business? Which filing applies, a simple amendment or a full re-registration, depends entirely on whether the move stays within the same state. We tell you which branch applies and handle either one for you.
A same-state move to a new registered office is handled through a FORM GST REG-14 core-field amendment, filed within 15 days of the move.
A cross-state move is a different matter entirely. Because a GSTIN is state-specific, you can't simply amend your existing registration. It has to be voluntarily cancelled and a fresh registration filed in the new state.
Scope
Filed within the 15-day deadline from the date of the move.
The approval takes effect from the date of the actual move. We track this through to the officer's decision.
Includes the stock/input-tax-credit reversal computation required for goods held as of the cancellation date.
A full REG-01 filing in the new state, using the same process as our standard GST registration service.
Specifics
A GSTIN's first two digits are your state code. That's why moving your principal place of business to a different state isn't a simple amendment. It requires voluntarily cancelling your existing GSTIN (with the stock and input-tax-credit reversal that involves) and registering fresh in the new state. A same-state move, by contrast, is a straightforward REG-14 core-field amendment. We confirm which branch applies to you before scoping the engagement.

Confirm the move type
We determine whether this is a same-state or cross-state move. The two follow completely different processes.
Common mistakes founders make
Clarifications
No, a GSTIN is state-specific. A cross-state move requires cancelling your existing registration and filing fresh in the new state rather than a simple amendment.
15 days from the date of the move, filed via FORM GST REG-14.
You need to compute and reverse ITC on any stock of inputs, semi-finished, or finished goods held as of the cancellation-effective date, for a cross-state move.
For a same-state move, the approval is generally treated as effective from the date of the actual move rather than the date of officer approval. We confirm the current position applies to your filing before relying on it.
