Aadhaar Authentication for GST Registration

Aadhaar Authentication for GST Registration

What is Aadhaar Authentication?

The process of submitting the ‘Aadhaar number’ along with other biometric details of the Aadhaar holder to the Central Identities Data Repository (CIDR) for verifying its correctness is known as Aadhar authentication. The CIDR verifies the correctness of details on the basis of information available with it.

This process is an attempt to create an online platform to validate the identity of Aadhaar holders easily from anywhere with an intention to reduce frauds.

Aadhaar Authentication / e-KYC for Existing Taxpayers

All taxpayers registered as Regular Taxpayers (including Casual Taxable persons, SEZ Units/Developers), ISD, and Composition taxpayers can do their Aadhaar Authentication for GST registration or e-KYC on GST Portal.

It is not mandatory for every authorized signatory, promoter, or partner to get Aadhaar authenticated for a new GST Registration. Aadhaar authentication is based on the constitution of business (COB).

Type of constitution of businesses that are excluded from Aadhaar authentication:

1) Not a citizen of India

2) Department or establishment of Central or State Government

3) Local Authority

4) Statutory Body

5) Public Sector Undertaking

6) Person applying for registration u/s 25(9)

Authenticating the Aadhar or getting the e-KYC done:

If Aadhaar is available, the Primary Authorized signatory and 1 person who is Proprietor/ Partner /Director /Managing Partner or Karta of the entity registered can go for the Aadhaar Authentication.

However, if the aadhaar is not available then the person can upload any of the following documents to undergo e-KYC:

1.      Aadhaar Enrolment Number

2.      Passport

3.      EPIC (Voter ID Card)

4.      KYC Form

5.      Certificate issued by Competent Authority

6.      Others

Steps of Aadhaar Authentication for GST registration:

For all the authorized signatories mentioned in the application, this is the process to be followed:

The authentication link will be sent to the registered mobile number and email ID (mentioned in the application) after you submit the application for registration.

You need to click on the link that you have received and then enter the required details such as the aadhaar number and OTP (which will be sent on your mobile number and email id)

If done correctly, you will receive a confirmation message stating ‘successful authentication’
