GST portal makes OTP verification mandatory after amendment filings
In short
Taxpayers who file non-core GST amendment applications now have to finish mobile and email OTP verification within three days. If they do not, the portal will not generate an Application Reference Number.
This matters because the extra step can block an application from moving ahead. The report does not say how many filings are affected or whether any exceptions apply.
What the reporting says
Taxpayers filing non-core amendment applications on the GST portal must complete mobile and email OTP verification within three days, according to the publisher-supplied summary. If they do not, the Application Reference Number will not be generated. The immediate consequence is a tighter filing step for applicants, while the reporting does not say how many users are affected or whether any grace period exists beyond the three-day limit.
Why it matters
The reported change is a GST portal filing rule requiring OTP verification for mobile number and email within three days after submitting non-core amendment applications. If the verification is not completed, the Application Reference Number will not be generated. The source does not explain why the rule was added or whether it applies to all taxpayers, so the scale of impact is not stated.
