The Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN) has introduced a new facility that allows certain Promoters and Directors to complete their biometric authentication at any GST Suvidha Kendra (GSK) within their home state. This enhancement aims to simplify the GST registration process.
Key Features:
- Eligibility: Available for Promoters/Directors of Public Limited Companies, Private Limited Companies, Unlimited Companies, and Foreign Companies.
- Home State Flexibility: Eligible individuals can choose any GSK in their home state for biometric authentication, rather than being limited to a designated GSK.
- One-Time Selection: The choice of GSK is a one-time decision and cannot be changed.
- Email Notification: Applicants selected for biometric authentication will receive an email with instructions and a link to select their GSK.
- Slot Booking: After selecting a GSK, a confirmation email will provide a link to book an appointment.
Important Considerations:
- If the biometric process has already been completed, there is no need to undergo it again.
- If the Promoter/Director is also the Primary Authorized Signatory (PAS), they must visit the designated GSK for document verification.
- Participation in this new facility is optional; individuals can still choose their designated jurisdictional GSK.
Conclusion:
This new biometric authentication facility by GSTN enhances convenience for Promoters and Directors during the GST registration process. Taxpayers are encouraged to follow the advisory guidelines for a smooth experience.
