UIDAI is ending the use of Aadhaar photocopies to improve security and protect user privacy. Aadhaar verification will now be done only through QR codes and the new Aadhaar App. Businesses must register with UIDAI and use digital verification methods, and citizens are encouraged to stop sharing physical photocopies.

Beginning in September 2024, the GST Portal will begin deleting return data older than seven years, which is a significant change for Indian GST filers. Cost reasons, issues related to data security, and regulatory compliance have all motivated this adjustment. Taxpayers need to move quickly to protect their data by printing or downloading copies, utilizing external hard drives or cloud storage, and strengthening record-keeping procedures. Businesses will remain audit-ready and compliant even when past data is archived or removed from the GST Portal thanks to these proactive measures.
