Meghalaya GST Rules Amended: Aadhaar Authentication Now Required During Application Submission; Biometric Verification at Facilitation Centres.

The Meghalaya Goods and Services Tax (Amendment) Rules, 2023, effective from December 26, 2022, amends the Meghalaya GST Rules, 2017. It revises rule 8, specifically sub-rule (4A), requiring applicants opting for Aadhaar authentication to complete this process during application submission. The application date is set as the Aadhaar authentication date or 15 days post submission, whichever is earlier. Additionally, applications identified on the portal must undergo biometric-based Aadhaar authentication and document verification at designated Facilitation Centres. Sub-rule (4B) is also amended to replace certain wording.
