The latest building tax receipt from Kumbalam, a land tax receipt or possession certificate from the Kumbalam village office, or a recent KSEB bill for the building. If the premises are rented, add the rent agreement and the owner's consent letter.
Which PIN code should I use for a business in Kumbalam?+
Use the PIN printed on your address proof. The Kumbalam post office serving Kumbalam uses PIN 682506; a mismatch between the PIN in the application and the proof is a common reason for a query.

No. One GST registration covers the whole State. A shop, godown or office in another district of Kerala is added as an additional place of business. You need a separate registration only in another State.
