This is in addition to the option of using banking channel or electronic verification code (EVC), for e- verification of the enrolment.
The move comes after traders complained of facing problems in verifying their GST enrolment through digital signature for companies and Aadhaar for traders.
"The Council has given us powers to notify any other mode of verification. Suppose, people are not able to link with the help of digital signature or e-sign, one more method is bank, and one more option for us is to verify by sending OTP on his registered mobile," an official said.
While the PAN shall be validated by the CBDT, the mobile will be verified through a one-time password (OTP) sent to the mobile number; e-mail address shall be verified through a separate OTP sent to the said mail address.
