GSTN Advisory on Auto Suspension of GST Registration due to Non-Furnishing of Bank Account Details as per Rule 10A
As per Rule 10A, taxpayers (except those registered under TCS, TDS, or Suo-moto registrations) must furnish their bank account details within 30 days of grant of registration or before filing details of outward supplies in GSTR-1 or IFF, whichever is earlier.
The following updates have been implemented on the GST Portal with respect to Rule 10A:
Automatic Suspension:
If a taxpayer fails to furnish bank account details within 30 days of registration, the system will automatically suspend the registration. The suspension order can be viewed at: Services > User Services > View Notices and Orders.
Adding Bank Account Details:
Taxpayers can add bank account details through a non-core amendment by navigating to: Services > Registration > Amendment of Registration (Non-Core Fields).
Automatic Dropping of Cancellation Proceedings:
Once bank account details are furnished, cancellation proceedings will be automatically dropped by the system.
Manual Option to Drop Proceedings:
If the cancellation proceedings are not dropped automatically on the same day after adding bank details, the taxpayer can manually initiate the process using the “Initiate Drop Proceedings” button available at: Services > User Services > View Notices and Orders > Initiate Drop Proceedings.
Exemptions:
Furnishing bank account details is not mandatory for OIDAR and NRTP taxpayers. However, for OIDAR taxpayers who select “Representative Appointed in India” as ‘Yes’, furnishing bank account details is mandatory.
