Physical Biometric Aadhar Authentication for GST Registration

Overview Physical Biometric Aadhar Authentication for GST Registration

In the recent 53 GST Council meetings of 2024, biometric-based authentication has been made mandatory nationwide to combat fraudulent ITC claims made through fake invoices. This has impacted how e-commerce sellers will complete their Aadhar authentication while completing their GST registration.

Before the implementation of this new rule, e-commerce sellers could complete their Aadhar authentication with OTP sent to their registered mobile number and email address, which was quite an easy process to complete. But with this new rule, e-commerce sellers will no longer be able to complete their Aadhar authentication with OTP, only physical biometric authentication will be required, which means you will have to visit the GST Suvidha Kendra of the respective states for which you are applying for GST.

For example, if you are from Telangana and are applying for Maharashtra state GST, then you will have to visit the GST Suvidha Kendra in Maharashtra to complete your Aadhar authentication. Finding the GST Suvidha Kendra and completing authentication is a difficult task, and to tackle this problem, theGSTco has innovated a solution to help all e-commerce sellers requiring physical biometric authentication.

With our expert solution, you will be able to complete your biometric authentication for any state in less time and hassle-free.
