Sir/Madam,

Taxpayer have a Gst registration in the state of Goa. Now he starts his trading business at Maharashtra also. He applied for separate Gst registration in Maharashtra State. Officer raised queries
1. Provide a Reg. certificate issued under a Maharashtra Shop & Establishment Act. (As far as my understanding this registration required only if number of employee exceeds 10. Also GST law does not make this compulsory. If it is compulsory then it would have ask at the time of online submission of application.)
2. Permanent residential address of applicant is out of Maharashtra, you are suggested to submit legal and valid proof of present residential address in Maharashtra as required under MGST Act 2017. ( Taxpayer is not residing in Maharashtra, he hired staffs to manage the business. How to provide this ?)
3. Provide Property Tax Receipt ( Copy of Electricity Bill already provided )

How to reply this notice ?
