The Finance Ministry has notified a new set of norms for GST registration. These norms were prepared based on the recommendations of GST Council’s Law Committee. As per the new norms, if the applicant has opted for Aadhaar based authentication, then every application will be followed by biometric-based Aadhaar authentication and taking a photograph. In case the applicant does not go for the first option, then the process involves taking biometric information, photograph and verification of various KYC (Know Your Customer) documents. Listen to the podcast.
