Aadhaar authentication for GST registration now requires biometric verification and document checks before completion. The Andhra Pradesh GST Rules are amended to revise the registration process for applicants opting for Aadhaar authentication. The application date is linked to Aadhaar authentication or fifteen days from Part B of FORM GST REG-01, whichever is earlier, and selected applicants must undergo biometric Aadhaar authentication, photograph capture, and document verification at a notified Facilitation Centre before completion. The amendment operates retrospectively from 26 December 2022.
