ICEGATE Integration After GST Contact Update

| |

Updating email ID or mobile number on ICEGATE is no more a simple process. You will have to update your GST registration first and then do ICEGATE GSTIN Integration. Once you have completed these steps, you can now update your ICEGATE profile. This ICEGATE GST Update is to help you maintain correct GST and Customs records. It helps organizations to avoid verification mistakes and communication delays.

Why Is This Update Important?

Now there is information sharing among the GST system and ICEGATE system. Therefore, if your contact information is different in the two databases, you may receive:
  • OTP verification issues
  • Delayed communication with customs
  • Problems in accessing ICEGATE services
  • Unable to update profile
You can also avoid these problems if you regularly keep your GST registration up-to-date.

Steps to Complete ICEGATE GST Update

Step 1: Update GST registration

If there are any changes in email ID and mobile number then it has to be amended on GST Portal via Registration Amendment Section. After this, send your request and verify using the OTP. Changes will get updated within 24 hours.

Step 2: ICEGATE GSTIN Integration

Once you have done with the above process, now do ICEGATE GSTIN Integration using GSTIN. This is to link ICEGATE to your GST details. Submit and wait another 24 hours for the data to update.

Step 3: Update ICEGATE Profile

Now Login into ICEGATE
  • Open Profile Status
  • Select Personal Details
  • Confirm your contact information.
  • Confirm one-time password.
  • Save your changes.
The updated data will usually take effect within 24 hours.

Example

For example, ABC Exports changes its official email address. Then the company updates its GST registration and does ICEGATE GSTIN Integration. After the mandatory waiting period, the company updates ICEGATE. The GST updating process on ICEGATE takes about 3 days.

Best Practices

  • Always update GST registration prior to ICEGATE.
  • Complete ICEGATE GSTIN Integration for every contact change.
  • Wait 24-hour between each step.
  • Both the systems should have the same email id and mobile number.
