Document Date: January 23, 2025 (Published in State Gazette on February 11, 2025)

The Kerala State Tax Department has designated specific Facilitation Centres for biometric-based Aadhaar authentication, applicant photography, and verification of original documents submitted during the GST registration process.
This step ensures that GST registration applications are verified more securely, reducing fraudulent registrations and ensuring the authenticity of applicants. It also clarifies that an earlier notification (No. 10/2024-State Tax) was mistakenly issued twice, and this new notification corrects the error by officially rescinding the duplicate.
For applicants, this means they must check which Facilitation Centre corresponds to their jurisdiction and visit it as part of their GST registration process.
