1) Place of business is rented premises.
2) landlord is no more, property is not yet transferred in the name of legal heir and rental agreement is entered into between legal heir of deceased (widow) and tenant.
3) Electricity Bill etc are in the name of deceased landlord
4) Registration is to be taken in the name of tenant's wife.

What all documents are required for registration??

Quick Summary

This discussion addresses the documents needed for GST registration when the place of business is a rented property with a complex ownership history. The key issue is that the landlord is deceased, the property hasn't been legally transferred to heirs, and the rental agreement is between the heir and the tenant. The tenant's wife is applying for registration. Advice suggests submitting the rental agreement along with a legal heir declaration, and potentially amending the agreement to simplify the process for the GST officer. It's noted that electricity bills are no longer a primary requirement, and a consent letter on stamp paper might be needed.

Don't make things look complicated in the eyes of GST officer..

Did you mean to say rental agreement has the name of "legal heir" of the owner of the property and the said agreement is very well registered stating the name of legal heir as "legal heir"?

If so, the rent agreement copy along with the declaration of legal heir can be submitted as supporting.

In whose name the business is?

If possible make amendment in the rent agreement to include name of business owner, to the extent which may look simple to the GST officer to approve it without any queries.
