Is it mandatory to do aadhar authentication for existing registered person under GST?? As it showing popup after login?? Please reply?
Reply—Functionality for Aadhaar Authentication and e-KYC has been deployed on GST Common Portal w.e.f. 6th January, 2021, for existing taxpayers. All taxpayers registered as Regular Taxpayers (including Casual Taxable person, SEZ Units/Developers), ISD and Composition taxpayers can do their Aadhaar Authentication or e-KYC on GST Portal.
If Aadhaar is available, the Primary Authorized signatory and 1 person who is Proprietor/Partner/Director /Managing Partner/ Karta of the entity registered can go for the Aadhaar Authentication.
In absence of Aadhaar, they can upload any of the following documents to undergo e-KYC:
If the Taxpayer selects No for Aadhar Authentication, then the E-KYC documents could be uploaded only for Primary Authorised Signatory and one promoter/ partner which the Taxpayer can select from the list available. However, it is optional and not mandatory.
