Applicants for GST registration in Tamil Nadu and Himachal Pradesh are now required to undergo biometric-based Aadhaar authentication and document verification.
The functionality for biometric-based Aadhaar authentication and document verification was rolled out in Tamil Nadu and Himachal Pradesh on 28th January 2025.
After submission, applicants will receive an email with either a link for OTP-based Aadhaar authentication or a link to book an appointment at a GST Suvidha Kendra (GSK) for biometric authentication and document verification.
You need to bring a copy of the appointment confirmation email, details of your jurisdiction, your Aadhaar Card and PAN Card (originals), and the original documents uploaded with your application.
