Why GST verification is the floor, not the ceiling

GST verification is a check that a business is registered with the Indian tax authority. It confirms the business exists, has a legitimate address, and is accountable to the tax system. On SociMart, we treat GST verification as the floor. It is table stakes. Above that, sellers can earn a Product Verified badge (documentation review of the specific SKU) and buyers can optionally request an on-site Inspection before purchase. Trust compounds.
