The GSTN has issued an Advisory dated 17.07.2025, regarding the upcoming security enhancements. To enhance data security and ensure greater transparency for GST-registered taxpayers, GSTN will soon introduce two important security features focused on interactions via Application Suvidha Providers (ASPs) and GST Suvidha Providers (GSPs).
1. Real-Time OTP Consent Notifications via Email & SMS
Email and SMS notification service to inform taxpayer upon every successful OTP consent access provided by taxpayer to the ASP. The taxpayers authorized signatory shall receive notification via email and/or SMS whenever ASP successfully obtains their consent, by providing OTP from the GST System, to access their data over APIs. The notification would have following details:
- Name of the ASP and the underlying GSP
- Date and Time of the OTP Consent
- Validity Period of the consent
2. Enable taxpayer with an option to revoke any active consent.
The GST Common Portal is being further enhanced to provide view of current & historic access gained by ASP / GSP and enable taxpayer with an option to revoke any active consent. The taxpayer shall be able to access this after logging to their GST Common Portal dashboard.
The exact dates, when the above functionalities will become available, shall be published vide respective advisories.
