What does Premises Number mean in an Address?

The word Premises legally refers to a building and the land it sits on. It means a physical property or property boundary.

• Premises Number simply means your House Number, Flat Number, or Building Number.
• If you live in an apartment, your premises number is your flat number (e.g., Flat 402).
• If you live in an independent house on a street, it is your house number (e.g., House No. 45).

Many large residential societies, apartments, or independent bungalows have specific names instead of just numbers.

• Premises Name refers to the Building Name or Society Name.
• Example 1: If you live in a building called 'Sunshine Apartments', that is your Premises Name.
• Example 2: If your family bungalow has a nameplate reading 'Sharma Niwas', that is your Premises Name.

Summary for Forms: If the form asks for 'Premises No. / Name', you should write: "Flat 402, Sunshine Apartments" or "House 45".
