MM TAX CLUB

In its continuous efforts to enhance the user experience and safeguard taxpayer data, the GST Network (GSTN) is rolling out new security enhancements to give taxpayers greater transparency and control—especially while dealing with Application Suvidha Providers (ASPs) and GST Suvidha Providers (GSPs).

Here’s what’s changing soon:

1. Email & SMS Alerts on ASP Access via OTP

Whenever a taxpayer provides OTP-based consent to an ASP for accessing GST data through APIs, the authorized signatory will now receive real-time email and/or SMS notifications.

These notifications will include:

Name of the ASP and their GSP partner

• Date & time of OTP consent

• Validity of the consent 
  Why this matters: It keeps you in the loop anytime someone accesses your data using your permission. Think of it as a digital handshake—now you’ll get a receipt every time it happens.  
   

  2. Dashboard View & Consent Revocation Option

  You’ll soon be able to view all current and past data accesses by any ASP/GSP via your GST dashboard. Even better? If you ever feel uneasy or suspicious, you’ll have the power to revoke any active consent instantly.

  ???? Where to find this: Log in to the GST Common Portal → Go to your dashboard → Check ASP/GSP access history and status.
   

  When Will This Go Live?

  The exact rollout dates for these new features will be announced soon through official GSTN advisories. So stay tuned and make sure your registered contact details are updated to receive these important alerts.
   

  Final Thoughts

  With these enhancements, the GST system is becoming more secure, transparent, and taxpayer-friendly. If you work with an ASP or use automation tools for GST filings, it’s good to be aware of who has access—and now, you’ll always be informed.
