   • Rule 19(1), CGST Rules 2017Any change in registration details is filed in REG-14 within 15 days of the change; legal name, places of business and partners or directors need officer approval
3. A

   Analysis

   Under Rule 19, the officer can reject an amendment after a query and your reply, or if you do not reply. Read the reasons in the REG-05 order carefully. Common reasons are a rent agreement not signed by the owner, a utility bill in another person's name without consent, or blurry uploads. Fix the gap and refile; there is no fee.
