NOC for GST registration: what it is and what it must contain

The NOC is one of three address proofs the GST department expects. Here's what it is and what makes one acceptable.

By the Launch My Office team · Updated 2026-06-19 · 4 min read

When you register GST at any address you don't own, the department wants proof the owner permits it. That proof is the No Objection Certificate (NOC).

What a valid NOC contains

The NOC rarely travels alone. The GST officer expects the full set: NOC + registered Rent Agreement + matching Utility Bill. See the complete checklist.

Why it matters for virtual offices

A compliant VPOB always ships with a notarised NOC — that's a big part of what makes a virtual office legal for GST. Without it, your application can be rejected or flagged at verification.

A No Objection Certificate is a signed statement from the property owner permitting you to use the address as your place of business for GST.

Does the NOC need to be notarised?

A notarised NOC is strongly preferred and is what we provide, alongside a registered Rent Agreement and a matching Utility Bill.
