Imagine telling your client, ‘I can’t guarantee how many weeks—or even months—it will take to get your GST registration approved.
Sounds unprofessional, right?
Yet, this is the reality businesses face today, impacting the speed of business in India.
The Latest Challenge? Biometric Verification Joins the Maze
Here’s what we’re up against:1️⃣ Mandatory Biometric:
Based Aadhaar Authentication: Designed to combat fraud, this process often forces directors to travel to Aadhaar centers for verification.
2️⃣ Differing Document Requirements:
State GST authorities and Central GST often demand vastly different documents, creating confusion and unnecessary setbacks.
3️⃣ Excessive Delays in Verification:
Aadhaar authentication alone can stretch into weeks—one of our clients had to wait for 30 days. Further, the delay is compounded by mandatory physical inspections.
4️⃣ Last-Minute Show Cause Notices:
Vague and last-minute notices, forcing applicants to rely on creativity and guesswork to address unclear demands.
5️⃣ Challenges with Co-Working Spaces:
Registering businesses in shared office setups remains a persistent struggle.
