Dear Taxpayers,

In accordance with Rule 9 of the Central Goods and Services Tax (CGST) Rules, 2017, pertaining to the verification and approval of registration applications, following is informed:

Where a person has undergone Aadhaar authentication as per sub-rule (4A) of rule 8 but has been identified in terms of Rule 9(aa) by the common portal for detailed verification based on risk profile, your application for registration would be processed within thirty days of application submission.

Necessary changes would also be made to reflect the same in the online tracking module vis-à-vis processing of registration application.

Thank you for attention.

Thanking you,
Team GSTN

Aadhaar authentication leads to a risk based verification pathway and a defined processing timeframe for registration applications. Where an applicant has completed Aadhaar authentication but is flagged by the common portal for detailed verification based on a risk profile, the registration application will be processed within a specified statutory timeframe from submission and the online tracking module will be updated to reflect the processing status and verification stages.
