Namaste,

I am planning to start selling on Meesho. I reside in Delhi and will be operating my business entirely from here. However, I cannot arrange ownership proof for my Delhi address, which is required for GST registration.

I can arrange ownership proof for another residential address in Uttar Pradesh though I will not be operating my business from there.

My question is:

Can I register the UP address as my principal place of business on GST portal, even though the actual business operations (purchasing/selling) will happen from Delhi?

GST Registration with Different Business Address You can register a UP address as your principal place of business on the GST portal, but there are some considerations to keep in mind: -

*Principal Place of Business*: The principal place of business should be the place where the business is actually carried out. If the actual business operations are happening from Delhi, registering a UP address as the principal place of business might raise questions during audits or inspections. -

 *GST Registration Requirements*: To register for GST, you'll need to provide documents such as ownership proof, address proof, and bank account details. If you can provide the required documents for the UP address, you might be able to register it as your principal place of business. -

 *Business Operations*: Since the actual business operations will happen from Delhi, you might need to consider registering the Delhi address as an additional place of business. This would require additional documentation and might involve separate registration procedures. Recommendations -

*Consult a GST Professional*:

 It's recommended to consult a GST professional or a chartered accountant to understand the implications of registering a different address as your principal place of business. They can help you navigate the registration process and ensure compliance with GST laws. -

*Verify GST Portal Requirements*: Check the GST portal's requirements for registration and ensure that you meet all the necessary criteria. -

 *Consider Delhi Registration*:

If possible, consider registering your Delhi address as your principal place of business. 

This might involve exploring alternative options for providing ownership proof or using a different type of address proof.
