Every business has to apply for a trade license or gumasta license as it may be called, within 30 days of commencement of business.

If you have just started your business, then it is not mandatory for GST registration. But if you were already doing business earlier and now you are applying for a GST number, then the GST officer may demand the same.

Hope this helps!

Feel free to contact me for any queries @ 9033377645

For GST Registration, in case of principle place of business, our rented building ownership is joint owners. Could you tell me the additional documents required for the submission?
Rent agreement along with building tax challan is enough. NOC from owners of building will be an added advantage.
