FAQ :
The Andhra Pradesh Commercial Taxes Department has introduced Biometric Face Authentication for GST registration.
The main goals are to enhance security, simplify the verification process, and curb fraudulent activities in the GST ecosystem.
It reduces the verification process from three steps to two, involving photo capture and face authentication, followed by document verification.
A mobile app developed by GSTN allows Biometric Authentication Officers to capture applicants' photos for face authentication without external hardware.
Currently, Andhra Pradesh operates 12 GST Seva Kendras (GSKs) for biometric verification.
It is expected to help eliminate the misuse of fake Input Tax Credit (ITC) at the registration stage and ensure only legitimate taxpayers are enrolled.
