However, according to officials in the Finance Ministry, the procedure for implementation was delayed due to the lockdown brought on by the coronavirus outbreak. The construction of the same facility has finally begun as of August 21, 2020, after a pause. Aadhar Authentication for new registration has been made online to increase how easily genuine companies can conduct business.

What is Aadhar Authentication?

Based on the data it has access to, the CIDR confirms the accuracy of the data. Who is a mandatory and exempted person for GST Registration?

Suggested Read - Aadhar made a mandatory requirement for GST Registration What is the process for Aadhar Authentication for new taxpayers? As of now, it is mandatory for new taxpayers to verify the Aadhar number while registering for Goods and services tax registration. The process for Aadhar Authentication for new taxpayers is as follows: Step 1: The applicant is given the opportunity to decide whether he wants to authenticate his Aadhar at the time of applying for GST registration or physical verification. Once decided the applicant must go to the website www.gst.gov.in and select the Services > Registration > New Registration option. For Aadhar Authentication, the applicant must choose between the option "YES". Step 2: Once you select ‘Yes’, an Authentication link will be shared on your (can be of a promoter, or an authorized signatory) registered mobile number and Email IDs. Then click on the Authentication link which was sent to you on your registered mobile number Step 3: After clicking the Authentication link sent to you on your Email ID or phone number a declaration will be displayed on your screen, where you need to enter your Aadhar number. Once you enter the Aadhar number, you will have to validate the same. Step 4: An OTP will be delivered to their registered email and cell phone number when the registration form and UIDAI information have been verified. The OTP must be entered in the box that may be seen on the validation screen. A confirmation notice of e-KYC will then show up. In case you fail to verify via Aadhar OTP, the Tax Officer might come for physical verification of your place of business. Step 5: The jurisdictional tax authority will receive your GST registration application. But before authorizing, they will carry out the further stages, which include documentation and/or physical site verification. If there is no action is initiated by the Tax Authority within 21 days, the registration application shall be deemed approved. What is the process to Authenticate Aadhar numbers for existing taxpayers? The following is the process to Authenticate Aadhar numbers for existing taxpayers: Step 1: Log in to the official GST website. Find the "My Profile" option and click on it. Then select the "Aadhar Authentication status" option. Two alternatives will be shown on your window: "Upload E-KYC Documents" or "Send Aadhar Authentication Link". Step 2: Choose one of the two options. Click on the link sent to you on your registered phone number or email address and enter the Aadhar number, if you choose to "Send Aadhar Authentication Link." In case you choose the option to "Upload E-KYC Documents" be ready with all the papers and upload them. Step 3: Once you enter the Aadhar number, an OTP will be generated and you have to verify the same. Once you upload the documents, a successful message will be sent to your registered email id or phone number. What is the timeline for approval? If a Tax Officer fails to act against any of the following circumstances within the time limit for the officer to complete the stated, the application is presumed to have been authorized by the officer: The officer has to act within 3 working days after the submission of the application if an individual has completed the authentication of the Aadhar number under Good and services tax successfully. The officer has to act within 21 working days from the date of submission of the application to send the notice in form REG-3 if an individual has opted for GST Aadhar Authentication but was unable to complete the procedure. The officer has to act within 7 working days from the date of receipt, required documents, or information response if an individual has replied through REG-4 to the notice sent by the office that is REG-3. The officer has to send a notice within 21 working days from the date of submission of the application if an individual did not opt for the Good and services tax Aadhar Authentication. Conclusion The main goal of Aadhar authentication is to provide an online platform where Aadhar holders' identities can be verified at any time, anywhere, for any reason. This stage will establish ease of company registration and keep an eye out for violations of the Goods and Services Tax legislation, such as cases of fraudulent invoices, dummy address registrations, and numerous registrations in the same locations. So it is made Aadhar Authentication mandatory for new and existing taxpayers.
