Residential premises cannot be used for commercial purposes 

better option is to shift office to avoid legal complications 

Residential complex or property cannot be used for the commercial purpose, for business you need commercial property and for same taxes has to be paid to municipal department.

Shift your office if the department give any notice to seal the property same need to be contested. 

I don't think it will involve sealing in the said property

DELHI HIGH COURT

it is legal to use residential property for commercial purpose, provided that, the prior permission of Municipal authorities of that area should be taken and if you are  tenant then landlord’s permission is required.

common area or parking area cannot be use for any commercial activity. 

f the zoning rules and the housing society management rules allow it, you can use or rent your residential property for commercial activity. However, states have different sets of rules on conversion of residential property to commercial property. Some states allow up to 30 per cent area of a house to be put to commercial use by professionals such as doctors, lawyers and chartered accountants, but others do not.

In case your state allows this, it is necessary to get an approval from the housing society before conversion of residential property to commercial property. Depending on the nature of the business, it may also be necessary to obtain permission from the local municipal authority for the conversion of a flat into a commercial establishment. Once a property is marked as commercial property, it would be treated as a commercial property for all purposes, which includes paying more as property tax..

here are three things that you have to keep in mind before converting a part of your house into an office:

• Get a shop and establishment licence from the municipal authority concerned. 

• Before you apply, be clear on the area you would need and the kind of business you plan to carry out. 

• The civic body would levy commercial charges on the property and water and power supply, depending upon the area, the property size and the nature of business activity.

Dear 

A residential property cannot be used for commercial purpose and even the sale of online products comes under commercial activities. And it can lead to sealing of property.

So you can opt for moving out from here to some commercial area for doing this business.
