GHMC Trade License Registration
Business owners in Hyderabad who have not yet registered for a trade license can do so online. To apply for a trade license, the following documents are required:
1. Building Occupancy Certificate
2. Building Sanction Plan from GHMC
3. Up-to-date Property Tax Receipt
4. Rental/Sale/Lease Deed

How to Find Your TIN
Each trade license is assigned a unique Trade Identification Number (TIN), which is a 12-digit number. The TIN is composed of:
• The first 3 digits represent the ward code.
• Digits 5 to 7 represent the Minor Code, indicating minor works under a major category.
• The last four digits are the serial number.
If you do not know your TIN number, you can search for it on the GHMC website, http://www.ghmc.gov.in/onlinetrade/, by entering details like your locality, circle, ward, door number, trade title, or trade type. Alternatively, you can visit the Citizen Service Center at GHMC Head Office, to inquire about your TIN.
