Registering a sole proprietorship under GST is straightforward if you keep the right documents ready. Here is the checklist we use for our clients.

Documents of the proprietor

  • PAN card of the owner
  • Aadhaar card of the owner
  • Passport-size photograph of the owner

Address proof of the place of business

Any one of the following:

  • Property tax receipt
  • Municipal khata copy
  • Electricity bill
  • Water bill
  • Landline telephone bill

If the premises are rented or leased, also keep:

  • Rent / lease agreement, and
  • Consent letter or No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the owner of the premises

Bank details

  • Cancelled cheque, first page of the passbook, or a recent bank statement showing the account holder’s name, account number and IFSC

Good to know

  • All documents are uploaded as scanned copies (PDF or JPEG) on the GST portal.
  • Aadhaar authentication of the proprietor is done online through an OTP during the application.
  • Keep the mobile number and email address you use in the application active — all GST communication, including your login credentials, is sent there.
