FAQ :

GSTN has introduced a new facility allowing certain Promoters and Directors to complete Biometric Authentication at any GST Suvidha Kendra (GSK) within their Home State, instead of the previously designated jurisdictional GSK.

This facility is available for Promoters/Directors of Public Limited Companies, Private Limited Companies, Unlimited Companies, and Foreign Companies.

No, you can only choose a GSK within your Home State. This facility is currently available in 33 States/UTs and will be extended to Uttar Pradesh, Assam, and Sikkim soon.

Upon selecting a Home-State GSK, you will receive an email confirmation with a new slot booking link to schedule your biometric authentication appointment.

No, opting for Biometric Authentication at a GSK in your Home State is not mandatory. You can still choose to visit your designated jurisdictional GSK if you prefer.

If the Promoter/Director and the Primary Authorised Signatory (PAS) are the same person, this Home-State GSK selection option will not be available. The PAS must visit the designated jurisdictional GSK.
