GST registration scrutiny is tightened by requiring careful cross-verification of documents, addresses, Aadhaar-linked mobile details, PAN history, and PDS/DBT status before registration is granted. All new registrations must undergo immediate physical verification through the prescribed apps, with selfie-based evidence, original-document matching, prompt action on adverse reports, and retrospective cancellation where a registration is found to be an NGTP. Newly registered firms must also be closely monitored through return scrutiny, bank-account validation, risk scoring, and six-month re-verification. Officers must undergo mandatory training in cyber fraud detection, analytics, and forensic methods, while failure to verify registrations or act on NGTPs may trigger disciplinary action and reporting obligations.
