- Utility Bill: Is the electricity bill provided recent (less than 2 months old)?
- Nameplate Display: Does the provider display your company name and CIN/GSTIN at the building entrance/reception? (Mandatory)
- Record Maintenance: Can you maintain digital or physical copies of statutory registers at the address (or accessible from it)?
- Inspection Access: Does the agreement explicitly allow government officials (ROC, GST, Bank) to visit and inspect the premises?
- Mail Forwarding: Is there a reliable system to forward government notices to you immediately?
