Digital signatures permitted for GST registration; mandated certificates must be used, with alternative mechanisms provided in rules.

Taxpayers may sign GSTN registration applications using valid digital signature certificates; if an applicant is required under other prevailing law to obtain a digital signature certificate, the registration application must be submitted using that certificate; for applicants without a digital signature certificate, the GST Registration Rules will provide alternative mechanisms for signing or authenticating the application.
