For GST registration rental agreement / proof of address / Mbl / EB connection/and ownership sale deed copy/if tenancy

or a simple letter from Grandpa with no objection certificate for running the business.

This legality is must because under GST if defalut situation arises the place of business will first be target for verification

AS you know based on the address only the rate of tax / class of tax SGST/CGST/IGST is decided

What is the procedure to get no objection certificate from my grandfather? Does he need to write it on plain paper or something else? Will any supporting documents be required?

What would be the rate of tax/ class of tax for using home as place of business? I sell books on e-commerce websites.

there are two questions 

1) place of business guidance sign rental agreement and NOC from owner on simple letter for using the premises 

for no value. It will be good if rental agreement is made with min value of rent , since there will be income against 

which you can claim this exps see it is not coming under TDS etc.

GST attracted if invoice is made ,supplies effected whether it is e commerce or shop selling

But I thought there was no GST on books? I know that I will have to file monthly returns but thought there will be no taxes since books are exempted.

see in the HSN whether your product is covered under GST rates , there are two types one is product covered under GST HSN with nil rate of tax and another exempted category , pl take the help of book in GST and finalise

Thanks. I checked online. The Printed Books have Nil GST rate. This is what I sell. I only sell novels. Nothing else. Even Amazon told me that there is nil GST rate on your item.
