NOC Consent Letter for New GST Registration: When Proprietary Concern is Also Property Owner

Understanding the Scenario

When a proprietary concern (a business entity owned fully by an individual) is also the property owner, the process of new GST (Goods and Services Tax) registration can sometimes be confusing. Specifically, if the electricity bill for the business premises is under the same name as the owner, the question arises regarding the format of the NOC (No Objection Certificate) consent letter.

What is Required?

In most cases, a simple, non-legal general opinion can suffice. According to expert advice, a NOC may not be strictly necessary if the proprietary concern exclusively owns the property. However, it’s always a good practice to provide proof that the premises being used as the business address is indeed owned by the proprietor.

Simplified NOC Consent Letter for GST Registration

Here is a sample of a simplified NOC consent letter that can be used when applying for GST registration through a proprietary concern where the owner is also the property owner:

Dear [Recipient],

I, [Your Full Name], with the address at [Your Business Address], have applied for GST registration with the above address as my principal place of business. I also own the property and the electricity bill is attached, and I have no objection to the above address being listed as the principal place of business.

I hereby give my consent to use this address for the purpose of registration.

Yours sincerely,

[Your Full Name]

Date: [Date]

Additional Considerations and Action Steps

However, in cases where there may be more than one owner, a formal NOC might be required. If you are a single individual, it is advisable to upload a copy of the property document as proof of the business address.
