<h1>Andhra Pradesh Launches Biometric-Based Aadhaar Authentication for GST Registration on December 4, 2023.</h1> A pilot project for biometric-based Aadhaar authentication and document verification for GST registration applicants will be launched in Andhra Pradesh on December 4, 2023. Under amended Rule 8 of the CGST Rules, 2017, applicants will be identified using biometric data and document verification. Applicants will receive an email link for either OTP-based Aadhaar authentication or an appointment at a GST Suvidha Kendra (GSK) for biometric verification. At the GSK, applicants must bring their appointment confirmation, jurisdiction details, Aadhaar number, and original documents. This new process aims to enhance security and streamline GST registration in Andhra Pradesh.
