I myself filled for a GST Registration mentioning my residential address as principal place of business. (Note i have provided NOC as well).

Now I got a show cause notice asking to show the Business name board at principal place of business.

Would like to know Is this mandatory to show the business name board at our residential place?

And also afraid to stick name board at my residence suspecting may increase the Electricity and water rate.

Your valuable suggestion on this is highly appreciated.

Thanks

Anu

Business name board is important for local adminstrative authorities for tax purposes and subsidy from electricity,water, and other aminities from govt. side. Company name is very important to define your business and to create an identity among the competitors and also help to impress the investors. A business name is the foundation of the trademark design, which has a significant value.

As per the GST law, you are required to display the name and GSTIN at the entrance of the place from where you are doing business. Further, you should also display the GST certificate at prominent place of your home.
