GST UPDATES
Quote from GLOBAL CA on February 14, 2025, 6:37 amGSTN Issued New Advisory For GST Registration Process
GSTN Advisory Dated 12-02-2025
The GSTN has issued an advisory outlining procedural modifications in GST registration under Rule 8, specifying verification protocols for both Aadhaar-authenticated and non-Aadhaar-authenticated applicants.
The applicants who choose not to undergo Aadhaar authentication must visit the designated GSK for photo capture and document verification. Upon selecting “NO” for Aadhaar authentication, they will receive an email containing GSK details and a list of required documents, along with an appointment scheduling requirement. The applicant must visit the GSK at the scheduled time to complete verification. It is also informed that in case of failure to comply within 15 days will result in the non-generation of the Application Reference Number (ARN), thereby preventing GST registration.
For applicants opting for Aadhaar authentication, biometric verification at the GSK is mandatory for Promoters/Partners unless they have previously been verified in any State/UT. The Primary Authorized Signatory (PAS) must carry the necessary documents for verification. If the PAS has already completed biometric verification, only document verification is required. Failure to complete these steps within 15 days of submitting Part B of REG-01 will lead to the non-generation of the ARN. Any discrepancies in Aadhaar details must be resolved before verification to prevent authentication failures.
