Use of Residential House for Job Consultancy Office
09-Dec-2023 (In Property Law)
I am from Namakkal District, Tamil Nadu and currently having an Job Consultancy office in a residential house. I use the full property as my office and have 10 people working here. I would like to know whether this is legal in Tamil Nadu / India. I dont sell any products like a Store or something. Please help clarify.
Legally, it is not correct. Need to get permission to run an office from government officials. If it is an registered company, then it becomes commercial. To run a commercial organization in a residential building or apartment is legally not correct. There are legal formalities to get it formally correct.

If you are carrying out commercial activity from your residence, Your electricity bill must be charging you either on a “domestic” rate or a “non-domestic” rate.
It is legal to carry on commercial activity from the comfort of your residential property, but, it is necessary for you to take prior permission, from the Local municipal authority – In the case of the local municipal authority, you will have to explain the kind of commercial activity you intend on carrying out and the area you require for it.
Town planning authority – The Town Planning Authority demarcates areas in towns as commercial, residential or industrial. Permission of the town planning authority is highly important as initiating a commercial activity in a residential area may not be permitted by the town planning authority.
