Non-compliance can lead to suspension via FORM REG-31, blocked GSTR-1 filing, e-way bill generation restrictions, and possible cancellation of registration. To stay compliant, log in to the GST portal, upload your bank details, and ensure verification to keep your GST number active and avoid operational disruptions.

Rule 10A of the CGST Rules requires every new GST registrant to verify their bank account and upload the details on the GST portal within the prescribed timeline. This ensures that GST registration remains active, refunds are processed smoothly, and risks of suspension or cancellation are avoided. Non-compliance can lead to withheld refunds or suspended GSTIN. Uploading a cancelled cheque or bank statement immediately after GST approval is the simplest way to stay compliant.
