Published by Innovex Business Advisers LLP | June 2025

With the ever-evolving landscape of GST compliance in India, 2025 has brought several key updates to the GST portal aimed at improving taxpayer experience, increasing automation, and ensuring better transparency in return filing. At Innovex, we bring you a concise summary of the latest changes along with our expert commentary to help you adapt quickly and stay compliant.

🔍 Key GST Portal Updates in 2025

1. AI-Powered Filing Assistance

The GSTN has rolled out AI-powered assistance for return filing. Users will now see smart suggestions for:

  • Missing or mismatched invoices

  • Ineligible ITC claims

  • Filing frequency reminders based on turnover

Innovex Insight: These features help businesses reduce human error and ensure higher accuracy. For CAs and consultants, this enhances review speed and reduces back-and-forth with clients.

2. Real-Time PAN Validation

PAN verification is now real-time and mandatory before registration amendments or refund filings.

Innovex Insight: Ensure your client's PAN details are correct and updated. Any mismatch can delay filings and credit approvals.

3. Updated E-Invoicing Thresholds

From August 1, 2025, e-invoicing is mandatory for taxpayers having turnover above ₹3 crore (earlier ₹5 crore).

Innovex Tip: Begin integrating invoicing tools or ERP systems that are compliant with IRP (Invoice Registration Portal) protocols. We can assist with API integration and automation via Balantro.

4. Unified Dashboard for Returns & Notices

A single-window dashboard now displays:

  • Pending returns

  • Filed returns with acknowledgment

  • Open notices under Rule 88C, Section 73/74

  • Status of ITC mismatches

Innovex Insight: This is a game-changer for tax professionals. It allows you to proactively manage deadlines and risks across multiple clients.

5. Revamped DRC-01A Response Module

Taxpayers can now upload documents, comments, and payment challans in a structured template for faster resolution.

Innovex Recommendation: Maintain a standard response format with proper audit trail of every tax payment and its justification. Innovex clients will soon get a pre-built compliance response tool via our portal.
