In recent changes to the GST portal, taxpayers in the Normal, OIDAR, and NRTP categories no longer have to give their bank account information when they sign up. They can still do so later. Before, you had to give these details when you signed up. Now, you can give the same information when you log in for the first time. So, this is very helpful for new businesses because they can get a GST registration number without having to open a bank account first.
