"One of the major changes that we've made is for the ease of GST registration. In the earlier system, people had to give various documents. Now we have decided to use Aadhaar. By using Aadhaar several advantages will occur to the business," said Revenue Secretary Ajay Bhushan Pandey.

He added, "The person who is applying can go online, using his Aadhaar number through OTP authentication he can register himself on the GSTN portal & get GSTN registration number."
