   Analysis

   Departments have tightened registration with biometric and Aadhaar checks to stop firms opened on borrowed documents. Example: a supplier whose Aadhaar authentication shows 'No' and whose premises are a shared office should be verified more carefully. This does not prove fraud, but combine it with filing history, address and goods movement before relying on the supplier.

   2. 2If not authenticated, ask for reasons and KYC papers
