In the early days, the documentary proof regarding ownership of business premises was accepted on the basis of 'shared' by the Common Portal System and registration was issued. Due to frauds detected, Govt. has become very very strict and 'shared' is not accepted. Rent deed or proof of ownership or consent letter are requirement of GST law.

However, visit to Estate Office will also not be fruitful as all docs are in the name your client's brother. So chances are bleak. Only cordial relationship can click.

In our view, registration under Shop & Establishment Act will work for getting the registration under GST.

Dear Querist,

Advice given by M/s.Yagay & Sun, Sirs is a news for me. If it clicks, let me know on this forum. This will enrich my knowledge and I would be able to help one of my clients who is also sailing in the same boat. Looking forward to M/s.Yagay & Suns, Sirs also for further information. Thanks & regards.

AI Summary

GST registration: premises proof requirement may block registration absent rent deed or owner consent; alternative Shop & Establishment proof suggested.
GST registration requires documented proof linking the applicant to business premises when utility bills are in another person's name; acceptable evidence includes a rent deed, proof of ownership, or a consent letter, as informal shared declarations are no longer accepted. An alternative suggested is relying on Shop and Establishment registration to support GST enrolment, though that approach may carry practical uncertainty.
