A joint venture (JV) can generally use either participant’s premises as its GST principal place of business, provided the JV is the taxable person seeking registration and can substantiate its right to use that address. A separate office is not invariably required. The registration must be in the JV’s own PAN and legal name; a participant’s existing GST registration cannot simply be used for the JV.
- If the premises are owned by the client or partner, upload ownership evidence and a consent letter/NOC from the owner, along with the applicable utility bill or property-tax document. If rented, provide the rent/lease agreement and address evidence; if the agreement is not registered or the premises are shared, additional owner consent and supporting documents may be needed.
- Apply on the GST portal using the JV’s constitution documents (such as the JV agreement), PAN and authorised signatory details, and declare the premises as the principal place of business. The exact document set depends on ownership and occupancy; the GST officer may seek clarification or further proof.
- Keep the consent/lease, JV agreement and evidence of actual business use on record. The address should be available for notices and verification, and the JV must maintain its own books, invoices and GST returns. Using a participant’s premises does not itself create a second registration or extra compliance, but the JV’s registration and return obligations apply separately.
Address documentation is part of the JV’s registration and ongoing record-keeping workflow.
