Application for Amendment of Registration cannot be filed when there is:

• Change in PAN.

• Change in Constitution of Business resulting in change of PAN.

• Change in Place of Business from one State to other.

Application for Amendment of Registration cannot be filed for change in PAN because GST registration is PAN-based. You need to make fresh application for registration in case there is change in PAN.

Application for Amendment of Registration form cannot be filed for change in Constitution of Business as it results in change of PAN.
