07 January 2017 If a person is already carrying on trading business in a rented premises, which is registered under State VAT and for the rented premises, there is no agreement and it was a mutual consent between the landlord and tenant for renting of the premises for carrying on the trading activity.

Does the Landlord has to execute a new Rent Agreement or will a Consent Letter be sufficient, for enrolling under GST?
