Identity and address proof of the owner or partners
Recent property-tax receipt
Site plan or layout of the premises
Fire NOC or other NOCs where the municipality asks for them

The process

Check your trade's category and the fee in the municipality's schedule
Apply on the municipal portal, or at the ward office
