Identity verification via Aadhaar can trigger suspension of customs benefits under customs law until verification compliance is met. A new verification regime permits authorised customs officers to require Aadhaar authentication or prescribed documents to ascertain compliance and to allow alternative identification where Aadhaar is unavailable; specified classes may be exempt. On written reasons that a person failed to comply or submitted incorrect information, the officer may suspend customs benefits including clearance, refunds, drawback, exemptions, licences or any import/export benefits; failed authentication can likewise result in denial of those benefits. Suspensions remain until the person complies or furnishes correct information. 'Aadhaar number' adopts the Aadhaar Act definition.
