  • 2. Partnership, LLP, and Corporate Checklist
  • 3. Business Address Verification Requirements

Applying for GST registration requires submitting authentic documentation to the GST portal to prevent rejection. The documentation checklist varies depending on the constitution of the business entity.

For a sole proprietorship, the promoter's PAN, Aadhaar card, photograph, bank details, and proof of address are required. For partnerships and LLPs, the partnership deed, PAN cards of the partners, authorization letters, and partner identity proofs are mandatory.

Address proof is a critical verification area. If the office space is owned, ownership documents (property tax receipt or registry copy) must be submitted. For leased premises, the rent agreement along with a utility bill (electricity or water bill) in the owner's name and a consent letter must be uploaded.
