Will this address
survive MCA, GST and KYC?

A company must have a registered office within 30 days of incorporation and file its particulars in Form INC-22 (or SPICe+ Part B at incorporation) with the ROC under s.12(1) of the Companies Act 2013. From the date of incorporation, all statutory communications — ROC notices, court summons, income-tax and GST correspondence — are legally served at that address, so a verifiable address matters from day one.

A change of registered office within the same city must be intimated to the ROC in Form INC-22 within 30 days under s.12(4) of the Companies Act 2013. Moving outside the local limits of the city — or to another state — requires a special resolution and, for inter-state shifts, approval of the Regional Director, so the timeline stretches to weeks or months. This checker evaluates whether your prospective address can survive that scrutiny.

Yes — a residential address can be the registered office provided you hold valid proof: a title deed or rent agreement plus a No Objection Certificate from the owner, and a utility bill, per Rule 25 of the Companies (Incorporation) Rules 2014. What fails is a residential address where the owner won't give a NOC, or one that cannot receive mail — the two failure modes this tool tests.

Failure to comply with the registered-office requirements attracts a penalty of ₹1,000 per day of continuing default, capped at ₹1 lakh for the company, under s.12(8) of the Companies Act 2013. More practically, the ROC, GST department and income-tax department all use that address for notices; a dead address means you miss every deadline notice they send.

Rule 25 of the Companies (Incorporation) Rules 2014 requires proof of the address (title deed or rent agreement), a NOC from the owner if the premises are not owned by the company, and a utility bill (electricity, water, telephone) not older than two months. If you intend to use a virtual or shared office, the checker walks you through the KYC evidence banks and registries expect.
