Anita Consultants, a registered person in Pune, has changed its mobile number and e-mail address in the GST portal records. Which statement is correct about amending these details?

Explanation

Authorised signatory contact details such as mobile number and e-mail are non-core fields; amendments are updated on the portal and do not need the proper officer's approval. Core fields such as legal name, principal place of business and additional places need officer approval. Fresh registration is not required for such changes.
