How long it takes
After the application, the officer usually decides within 7 working days. It can take up to 30 days if a physical verification of the premises is ordered or Aadhaar authentication is not completed. Applicants may also be asked to complete biometric Aadhaar verification at a GST Suvidha Kendra.
