Hi

It depends that on what level you are going the start the PG.

In about 10% of the total PG in our country are registered and rest are running like this only.

Legally you need to get a hospitality firm registered and operate the PG by the name of that firm.

Thank You

You would need licence from

Muncipal corporation if you are providing paying guest facilities at your residence

2) also need permission from cooperative society

3) also need police clearance of the paying guest staying in your premises

Keeping payinh guest as such doesn't require specific permission from the municipality.

However since various kinds of people are expected to stay for varying period of time its advisable that you keep photo identity cards of each guests.

No

Keep them..

Get a rent agreement prepared

That would be sufficient.

Thank You

In this condition you should take commercial licence from the municipality and commercial electric connection. Commercial licence from municipality is required to pay house ta as per the commercial premises. No other licences required because running paying guest business come under the category of services. However service taxes abolished but GST @ 18% is applicable on this business therefore you should  get GST registration.

No license is required for the same

You may just give in writing the same to the police station and at the time of keeping a person on rent get the police verification done.

Make sure that no nuisance is created by them.

Regards

Since you'll be doing this for commercial gains, this will be a commercial activity. Hence, this can't be operated from a residential area.

Also, seek a license under Shops and Establishments Act.

Depending upon your business turnover, apply for GST.

You'll have to seek commercial water and electricity connection and pay commercial tax as well.

Sir

The paying guest , I mean the guest will get all facilities of food from breakfast to dinner and lodging.

You have to apply for the trade license from the local body be it municipality or corporation.

Apart from it you have to inform the identities of the guest to the the local police and inform the police authorities about the PG accommodation, for the purpose of safety.

At minimum you have to take the both and contact the local body for further clarifications.

Thanks

You need to seek permission from the municipal authority under shop & establishment act

keeping guest in a house against money is a business and it certainly requires trade licence.Therefore you require to obtain trade licence from the requisite authority.

1. Keeping paying guest is the job of giving shelter with or without food to third parties in the house where you are residing, against consideration.

2. It is a commercial activity for which you shall have to avail trade license from the Municipal Corporation.\

3. If you are living in a Housing Society, then you shall have to avail approval from the Society for keeping paying guests in your house/flat.

1. 12 persons are a good number of persons to be accommodated in a residence where the owner is staying with his family. So, it might take the shape of a lodge.

2. However, it will be a commercial,activity for which you shall have to avail trade license by filling up forms giving all details of your operation and also permission from your housing society (if any).

3. You should take all cares to ensure that fire extinguishing equipment is kept in the house and enter in to appropriate agreement with the guests giving stress to maintenance of peace and law order in your area.

If the paying guest accommodation is with food, then it may attract the sore eyes of the authority with regard to food safety and health and hygiene issues.

Otherwise even PG arrangement is another activity of leasing out the property on rent.

An enquiry with the local civic body will enlighten more details in this regard.
