The GSTN has issued update dated March 10, 2022 for enhanced User Interface in which Map has been added in address fields in the registration application GST REG-01 on the GST Portal for the taxpayers.

User Interface (UI) with respect to the address fields in the Registration Application GST REG-01 has been enhanced as follows:-

• Incorporation of a map tile along with a drag and drop facility of address pinhead on to the exact location of the applicant’s address.
• Once selected, the details will automatically fill in the various address input fields given in the application.
• Address fields have been linked so as to auto-fill other macro level address entry fields based on the entry in one of such fields particularly PIN Codes.
• For example; on entering the PIN code, the corresponding State and Districts will get auto-filled.
• The user can also directly fill-up the address input fields which are now aided with suggestive address input dropdowns from which the user can select the appropriate/relevant address field(s). This action will reduce errors in the address texts and will also ease the filling up of the appropriate address input fields by the user.
• The address fields have been segregated appropriately to reduce confusions while entering the relevant inputs under various address heads.
• Based on the address entries given by the user, the Latitude/ Longitude of the address will get auto populated which is non-editable.
