Physical verification and Aadhaar authentication of suppliers

The portal shows whether a taxpayer's Aadhaar authentication and e-KYC are done. Registrations without Aadhaar authentication may face physical verification. This field is a useful trust signal.

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.
