The Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) is working on biometric authentication of risky entities under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) as it looks to crack down on fraudsters who are misusing the PAN and Aadhaar of other people to obtain GST registration, CBIC chief Vivek Johri said.
He said that the tax authorities were also discussing some more tightening in the GST return filing system to limit the scope of claiming Input Tax Credit (ITC), when taxes had not been paid by suppliers in the supply chain.
