AADHAAR AUTHENTICATION MANDATORY FOR NEW DEALERS

Sept. 16, 2019

The GST Network (GSTN) has decided to make Aadhaar authentication mandatory for new dealers from January 2020 to check malpractices in GST. Aadhaar authentication was earlier optional.

About:

  • Under the new rule, those who do not prefer Aadhaar authentication, can go for physical verification, which will be carried out in three days.

  • Currently, Aadhaar authentication is optional and no physical verification is required.

  • The decision was taken after noticing in the last two years that there is a good number of fly-by-

  • night operators or ghost traders, who make fake invoices.
