GST council meeting: New rule on Aadhaar authentication may be announced on June 22
The 53rd meeting of the GST Council scheduled for June 22 is expected to introduce a new rule linking Aadhaar biometric authentication to GST registration for the first time.
According to CNBC Awaaz report, this new regulation may make Aadhaar biometric authentication mandatory for new registrations across the country.
Preparations are underway to implement the GST Council's new rule nationwide, following successful pilot implementations in states like Gujarat, Puducherry, and Andhra Pradesh.
These states have already implemented proposals based on Aadhaar, the report said.
For GST registration, businesses typically require documents such as the Company Incorporation Certificate (CIN No.), PAN Card, Memorandum and Articles of Association or LLP Deed, proof of address such as ownership agreements or lease agreements, and details of the company's authorized signatory including their name, address, Aadhaar, and PAN card.
