Quick Summary

If you're applying for GST registration and the tax officer requests an electrical bill, which you don't have, don't worry. While it's often requested, a municipal tax receipt, rent agreement, and trade license can be sufficient proof of your shop's address. Importantly, the Allahabad High Court has ruled that not submitting an electricity bill is not a valid reason to reject a GST registration application.
