Aadhaar biometric authentication for GST registration expanded to include an additional state under sub rule (4B) of rule 8. The Central Government, in exercise of powers under sub-rule (4B) of rule 8 of the Central Goods and Services Tax Rules, 2017, amends Notification No. 27/2022-Central Tax by substituting the words 'State of Gujarat and the State of Puducherry' with the words 'States of Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat and Puducherry', thereby notifying Aadhaar biometric authentication for GST registration in the newly included State.
