Which address proof works for a shop or office in Vakkom?+
The latest building tax receipt from Vakkom, a land tax receipt or possession certificate from the Vakkom 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 Vakkom?+
Use the PIN printed on your address proof. The Vakkom post office serving Vakkom uses PIN 695308; a mismatch between the PIN in the application and the proof is a common reason for a query.

Do homestays and houseboats in Thiruvananthapuram need GST?+
Once turnover from services crosses ₹20 lakh in a year, yes. Many homestays, resorts and tour operators register earlier to work with travel portals, companies and government departments that ask for GST invoices.
Do contractors working for government departments or local bodies in Thiruvananthapuram need GST?+
Yes. Government departments, local bodies and PSUs ask for a GSTIN in tenders and work orders, and deduct TDS under GST on larger contracts. The TDS shows in your GST account and is used to pay your tax.
Can an NRI-owned business in Vakkom register for GST?+
