Aadhaar authentication for GST registration

During GST registration you can authenticate using Aadhaar. The promoter or authorised signatory receives an OTP on the Aadhaar-linked mobile and email and verifies it.

Why do it

Aadhaar-authenticated applications are usually approved faster and avoid mandatory physical verification of the premises in most cases.

If you skip it

You can still register, but the department may carry out physical verification of your place of business before approval, which takes longer.
