In a continued effort to strengthen data security and transparency, the GST Network (GSTN) is introducing new features that will empower taxpayers to monitor and control access to their GST data, especially when using third-party platforms like Application Suvidha Providers (ASP).
Many taxpayers use ASPs (through GST Suvidha Providers - GSPs) to file returns and manage compliance. While this simplifies GST filings, it also involves sharing sensitive business information. The new security features aim to ensure that you are always in control of who accesses your data - and when.
Whenever you, the taxpayer, provide OTP-based consent to an ASP for accessing your data through the GST system, you will now receive an instant alert via:
These notifications will include:
This helps you track every instance of data access authorization, giving you complete transparency.
You will soon be able to log into the GST Common Portal and:
This gives taxpayers real-time control over who retains access to their data, closing any potential misuse.
GSTN has announced that exact implementation dates will be published shortly through official advisories. Keep an eye on your portal notifications or the GSTN website for further updates.
This is a welcome step by GSTN towards ensuring that taxpayer data remains secure and that you have the final say on how your GST data is accessed and used.
