Is a provider's KYC list the GST document list?
Not necessarily. A provider may request identity or commercial onboarding information for its own contract. GST registration has a separate checklist based on the applicant and premises arrangement. Ask why each document is requested and through which secure channel it should be supplied.
How do I prepare evidence for the address?
Identify whether the arrangement is rented, shared or consent-based, then match the agreement and supporting premises records to that situation. The CBIC registration instruction distinguishes these cases. Ensure the applicant's declared address, the agreement and the supporting record refer consistently to the actual place.
What should I clarify before signing?
Record access rights, notice handling, renewal costs, termination terms and cooperation with official verification. Buying a package does not guarantee registration. Check GST applicability separately; bank details should follow the relevant portal workflow rather than being described as a universal advance requirement.
