As you all are aware that new GST registration applicants are required to go for Aadhar Authentication either through OTP verification or Biometric Authentication at a designated GST Suvidha Kendra (GSK), based on system-driven data analysis.
However, in today’s era when the businesses are setting up across different states, specially in the time of e-commerce and quick-commerce, going to different states for biometric authentication can be an extreme challenge for business owners.
Understanding the hardship to businesses, the GSTIN has updated the Biometric functionality. GSTN has now introduced an additional facility allowing certain Promoters/Directors to complete their Biometric Authentication at any GSK in their Home State.
This facility applies to individuals listed in the Promoter/Partner tab for the following types of businesses:
a. Public Limited Company
b. Private Limited Company
c. Unlimited Company
d. Foreign Company
Now Promoters/Directors can choose any available GSK within their Home State in India (as per REG-01) for Biometric Authentication. Detailed process of opting for biometric authentication in home state can be checked here.
