Quick Summary

A user registered for GST using a virtual office but was advised to add their residence as an additional place of business due to property ownership issues. They cannot use their residence directly as it's a family property in a late relative's name. The discussion explores options like using a godown, a commercial unit rental, or a relative's property with a No Objection Certificate (NOC). It clarifies that a consent letter is appropriate when not owning the property and discusses the process of changing the registered address versus adding an additional place of business.

07 October 2024 I have recently got my GST registration however the friend who did the registration for me now tells me that since the registered address is a virtual office it's advisable to provide additional place of business as my residence.
However, the sole reason I got a virtual office was cos my residence address is a family property and is still in the name of my late grandfather. I don't have documents for showing ownership of premises associating it with me or firms name.
Would I need to have an additional place of business to be on the safe side?

07 October 2024 Yes, it can be your Godown place also. Or any rental agreement with a commercial unit.

07 October 2024 I can only provide an agreement of a residence as of now and not any Commercial place as these are made by me at home. My sister is a partner could we add address of the house owned by her husband.

07 October 2024 Thanks yes he'll provide NOC. So when choosing 'ownership of premises' do I choose the option as consent letter?

08 October 2024 Is it possible for me to have a different registered address on gst than my deed. I was thinking If I can get the registered gst address to be changed to my sister's husband's house and add the virtual office as additional place of business. Would that be accurate?

08 October 2024 As of now I can't amend the deed as my sister is traveling. I can only make core amendment on gst.
