The address proofs in India

The address proof in India

The address proof document to be produced in India is  to avail various service is not consistent and is particularly difficult for rental home residents.  In case you use prepaid phone or mobile service then it's much more difficult. 

The address documents from a resident point of view should be easy and should be Established with,

Rental document

Bank statement or Passbook

Mobile connection irrespective of prepaid or postpaid

DTH

Electricity or utility bill where in Tenants name is included

Internet connection

Gas connection 

The change request in any one of the document or service should automatically change the address of Residence in all other cards or documents. 

The permanent address shall through out the life time shall refer to place of birth or nativity.  The permanent address can only be changed if the complete family lineage has moved out of a particular nativity or place of birth. Otherwise, we just inherit permanent address from the parent's address for this life time.

The proof is required only for change of address or present address or communication address or living address.

The proof for permanent address change would require relocation of entire family and proofs for the same which would be rarest of rare scenario.

Once a permanent address is established only rental document should be good enough to change address in any of the document, a change of address will be cascade update to all relevant documents owned by the individual, his or her spouse, all children below eighteen years.

The primary address proofs documents to be accepted are

RENTAL DOCUMENT OR SALE Deed

SECONDARY ADDRESSES

Additionally a persons physical presence in a location can be verified through #JustDrive idea of mine, where in they would be able to certificate the resting location or home or residence he or she uses, along with mobile Operators certificates confirms his or stays during night at home or residence for the last 3 months, 6 months, 9 months and 12 months. 

Such a address proof certificate can be useful to automatically identify whether a citizen or individual is a resident, NRI or a foreigner residing in India or FRI for income tax returns, loans and other purpose.
