New Requirement for GST Registration in Rajasthan
The Rajasthan GST Department issued an Order (RajKaj Ref No.: 13534522) on February 13, 2025, enforcing stricter verification rules for GST registration.

- The Electricity Distribution Company name and K. No. must match the details on the Electricity Bill.
- A scanned copy of the Electricity Bill must be uploaded to verify the business location.
By implementing these measures, GSTN aims to improve business verification and prevent fraudulent registrations.
Validation Process & Consequences of Non-Compliance
- Once an application is submitted, GSTN validates the details.

- If the K. No. is missing or incorrect, authorities may conduct a physical verification before granting registration.
To enforce this requirement, the Rajasthan GST Department has issued directives under Section 168 of the Rajasthan GST Act.
