02 August 2025 You're welcome! Regarding your query about GST (or earlier registration) for government contract work done at different places and from home:

---

### 1. Working & Residence Address Same — Is it okay?

Yes, you can use your **residential address as your principal place of business** if you are operating your government contract work from home.

---

### 2. Category of Registrant — Which one applies?

Generally, for government contract work, your category of registrant would be:

* **(a) Individual/Proprietor** — if you are operating as an individual or sole proprietor.
* **(b) Firm/Company** — if you have registered your business as a firm or company.

Choose the category based on your legal status.

---

### 3. Nature of Registration — Single or Centralized?

* **Single Registration:**
If you are working from one location (your home) and doing contracts at various places but filing returns and paying taxes from a single place, then single registration is sufficient.

* **Centralized Registration:**
This is usually for entities with multiple branches in different states under the same PAN, wanting centralized return filing. Not common for individual contractors working from home.

---

### 4. Address of Premises for Registration

The address you provide should be the **principal place of business**, which can be your home address if you operate from there. Even if you travel to different sites for government contracts, your registration address is where your business is officially based and records are maintained.

If you want, I can help you draft the registration form or clarify specific GST registration rules as per your state. What state are you in?
