Based on your queries regarding GST registration and the documentation required, here are the steps you should consider:
### GST Registration and Options:
1. **Tax Payer or Practitioner**: - Since your turnover is below Rs. 20 lakh per year, GST registration is not mandatory for you. However, if you still wish to register voluntarily (which can be beneficial for claiming input tax credit), you should select the option that best describes your status: - If you are registering as a business entity (not as a GST practitioner), you should select "Tax Payer" because you will be paying GST on your supplies (even though you are not mandatory to do so). - "Practitioner" option is typically chosen by those who provide services as a GST consultant or agent.
2. **Ownership Proof**: - When registering under GST, you need to provide proof of ownership of your business premises. The options typically include owned, rented, or leased property. - Since the electricity bill and municipal khata are in your father's name, you will need to provide a document that establishes your ownership or possession of the property. This could include: - **Sale Deed**: If the property is owned by you or jointly owned with others, you can provide a copy of the sale deed. - **Rent Agreement**: If you are renting the premises, provide a rent agreement along with the NOC (No Objection Certificate) from the landlord. - **Possession Letter**: If you do not have ownership or rental documents in your name, a possession letter stating that you are using the premises for business purposes might be acceptable in some cases.
### Documentation Checklist for GST Registration:
- **Proof of Business Place**: Sale deed, rent agreement, lease agreement, possession letter. - **Identity and Address Proof**: PAN card, Aadhaar card, passport, voter ID, etc. - **Business Constitution**: Partnership deed, certificate of incorporation (if applicable). - **Bank Account Details**: Copy of bank statement, cancelled cheque. - **Authorized Signatory Details**: PAN card and identity proof of the authorized signatory.
### Conclusion:
- **Selection**: Choose "Tax Payer" if you are registering as a business entity and will be paying GST on your supplies (even if voluntarily). - **Ownership Proof**: Provide a relevant document that establishes your right to use the premises for business activities, even if the electricity bill and municipal khata are in your father's name.
By following these guidelines and providing the appropriate documents, you can successfully complete your GST registration process. If you have any further doubts or specific requirements, consider consulting a GST practitioner or tax advisor for personalized assistance.
