Answer 1

No, not at all. It is illegal.

You may put your self, as well as your landlord into problem.

However, as Advocate or as CA, you can use part of your residence as your office.

Answer 3

you can do provided this was informed to the owner of the house. by entering into an agreement explicitly disclosing that you are going to use it for office purpose. secondly the association (if any) of the apartment should have no objection for running an office. and lastly you should check from the local body that as per their rule the area where you are going to have the business is not restricted only for residential use. cheeeeeku at : www.goldeneggsforlife.com
