FAQ :

GST registration in Ladakh now requires biometric Aadhaar authentication and verification of original documents, as per an amendment to Rule 8 of the CGST Rules, 2017.

The new functionality for biometric Aadhaar authentication and document verification was rolled out in Ladakh on 30th October 2024.

After submitting Form GST REG-01, applicants in Ladakh will receive an email with a link for either OTP-based Aadhaar authentication or to book an appointment at a GST Suvidha Kendra (GSK) for biometric authentication and document verification.

When visiting a GSK, applicants must carry a copy of the appointment confirmation email, details of their jurisdiction, original Aadhaar Card and PAN Card, and the original documents uploaded with the application.

For applications requiring biometric Aadhaar authentication and document verification, the ARN (Application Reference Number) will be generated only after both processes are successfully completed.
