Format of NOC and (Vs.) consent letter
Format of NOC vs. Consent Letter for GST Registration
When applying for GST registration in India, a business must provide valid proof of its place of business. If the property is not owned by the applicant, a No Objection Certificate (NOC) or a Consent Letter from the owner or legal occupant is required. Many applicants are confused about the difference between these two documents and their formats. In this blog, we will explain the difference between an NOC and a Consent Letter, when to use them, and provide sample formats for both.
NOC vs. Consent Letter: Key Differences
| Feature | No Objection Certificate (NOC) | Consent Letter |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Grants permission to use the premises for business | Confirms the owner’s consent for business operations |
| Issued By | Property owner or legal occupant | Property owner or person in possession |
| Legal Weightage | Stronger legal backing, often notarized | Simpler declaration, usually not notarized |
| Usage | Required when clear ownership proof exists | Used when ownership is unclear, or informal arrangement exists |
| Preferred For | Rented/leased properties | Properties under informal use (e.g., family-owned, shared property) |

Use Consent Letter when the business is running from a place with an informal arrangement, such as a relative’s or friend’s property.
