Clicking Notify Later will stop the pop-up and allow the user to go anywhere in the GST portal.
Click Yes, go to my profile and the system will go to my profile.
MY PROFILE will display a new tab “Aadhaar Authentication Status”. From this tab, a link for Aadhaar authentication will be sent to the primary approved signer and one of the promoters / partners he has selected. You need to enter the Aadhaar number. An SMS and email OTP will be sent for authentication.

take care
In some cases, it is observed that the citizenship of the approved signer / promoter is set to “NO” by default. This means that you are not an Indian citizen and your Aadhaar validation will be disabled. If you notice in your case, take a screenshot and file a complaint on the GSTN portal (to fix the error).
On my profile page, in addition to submitting the Aadhaar AUTHENTICATION LINK, the taxpayer also sees the UPLOAD E-KYC DOCUMENTS option, from which I can upload the e-KYC document to the portal. In this case, the e-KYC certification process requires approval of the e-KYC document uploaded by the tax office.
E. If Aadhaar or EKYC authentication is successful-
If the authentication is successful, a success message will be displayed on the screen.
