Frequently Asked Questions

Which Registrar of Companies handles filings for a company in Chandigarh?
ROC Chandigarh has jurisdiction over companies with a registered office in Chandigarh. Virtual Auditor files SPICe+, PAS-3, SH-7 and annual returns with that office on your behalf.

Which audit or review applies, and what will the work actually cover?
Every company needs a statutory audit of its financial statements by a chartered accountant appointed under section 139 of the Companies Act, reporting under section 143 and, where it applies, the CARO 2020 order and on internal financial controls. An LLP needs an audit when its turnover exceeds ₹40 lakh or its contribution exceeds ₹25 lakh. A tax audit is needed when business turnover or professional receipts cross the income-tax limits. An internal audit is required for prescribed classes of companies (section 138). A statutory auditor cannot also provide certain other services to the same company (section 144). We confirm which audits apply, agree the scope and timetable in an engagement letter, and list the records needed.
