- MOA and AOA
- PAN, Aadhaar and photographs of directors and the authorised signatory
- Board resolution appointing the authorised signatory
- Principal place of business proof: utility bill, plus rent agreement or NOC

- 2.Part B: business details, promoters, authorised signatory, place of business, goods and services (HSN/SAC codes).
- 3.Opt for Aadhaar authentication of the promoter and signatory.
- 4.Sign with DSC of the authorised signatory and submit.
