Do I need to take a NOC from the owner of premises for registered address, What is the format of NOC?

Can co-working office space/ shared office/ Virtual Office address be registered address of the company?
A registered office is required to be declared at the time of company incorporation and to be maintained by the company under section 12 of The Companies Act, 2013, which must be capable of receiving and acknowledging all communications and notices as may be addressed to it. Further, the statutory records of the company also need to be maintained at the registered address of the company.
