GST Registration Procedure using Aadhar Card

The 39th GST Council Meeting, which took place in August 2020, made it possible for Aadhar authentication to be used in the GST registration procedure. A more robust and speedier method of taxpayer verification is introduced with the implementation of GST registration using Aadhar, which significantly improves the ease with which business may be conducted. This service of authenticating using Aadhar is available to all individuals who are citizens of India. The following is a detailed walkthrough of the procedure for registering for GST using Aadhar as the authentication method:

  • When a taxpayer submits an online application for GST registration, they are allowed to verify themselves using Aadhar; if they want to do so, they must pick the Yes vote.
  • When the user selects “Yes," an authentication link will be sent to the e-mail and cellphone number associated with their GST account.
  • After selecting the authentication link, the applicant will be sent to a page where they may input their Aadhar number. Once the number has been entered, the applicant must click the “Validate" button.
  • If the information provided in the registration form and the UIDAI are identical, an OTP will be sent to the cellphone number and e-mail address provided during registration.

What exactly is the point of having a compliance rating system in place?

According to Section 149 of the CGST/SGST Act, every registered person will be given a compliance rating based on the compliance record concerning specific criteria.

Is there a possibility that GST applies to actionable claims?

Following the provisions of subsection 52 of section 2 of the CGST/SGST Act, actionable claims are to be regarded as goods. The CGST/SGST Act includes a list of activities and transactions that should not be classified as the provision of goods or the supply of services. This list can be found in Schedule III and should be read in conjunction with Section 7. The Schedule includes “actionable claims" as one of these transactions but excludes explicitly “lottery, betting, and gaming." Therefore, the Goods and Services Tax (GST) system will only apply to the lottery, betting, and gaming industries. None of the other legally enforceable claims may be considered supplies.

When it comes to the goods and services tax (GST), are transactions involving securities taxable?

A deliberate decision has been made to exclude securities from both the definition of goods and services. As a result, the purchase or sale of protection will not be subject to the GST.
