The GST System is implementing new security enhancements to improve data security and transparency for taxpayers using Application Suvidha Providers (ASPs) and GST Suvidha Providers (GSPs). Soon, taxpayers will receive email and SMS notifications every time an ASP successfully obtains OTP consent to access their GST data via APIs. These notifications will detail the ASP and GSP names, the date and time of consent, and its validity period. Additionally, the GST Common Portal is being updated to allow taxpayers to view all current and historical access granted to ASPs/GSPs and revoke any active consents directly from their dashboard. Further advisories will announce the exact activation dates for these new functionalities.

In this effort, the below mentioned enhancement shall be shortly introduced to provide transparency and control to the taxpayers who interact with the GST System using Application Suvidha Providers (ASP). The ASP use GST System authorised API channel partners that are called GST Suvidha Providers (GSP). The role of a GSP is to provide API access between GST System and ASP
1. 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. 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.
