A consent letter is a document that authenticates the owner of the property has allowed his premises to be used by the taxpayer for the said business. A no-objection certificate or a consent letter for GST registration is required to be attached along with the Address proof of business.

Where a consent letter is attached with address proof?
| Proof of Principal place of business (Any One) | Consent Letter |

- Leased

However, a consent letter is required only in the case of “Consented” and “Shared” premises.
