Frequently Asked Questions

Which Registrar of Companies handles filings for a company in Guwahati?
ROC Guwahati has jurisdiction over companies with a registered office in Assam. Virtual Auditor files SPICe+, PAS-3, SH-7 and annual returns with that office on your behalf.
Which High Court has jurisdiction over Guwahati?
Writ petitions and appeals from Guwahati lie before the Gauhati High Court.

No. Guwahati is served remotely from our Chennai head office, about 2,262 km away: documents are exchanged online, filings are made on the MCA, GST and income-tax portals, and meetings are held by video or at that office by appointment.
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.

Statutory & Internal Audit Engagements in Guwahati

ROC filings route to ROC Shillong, and any Section 139 auditor-rotation or NFRA reportable matter is escalated through that ROC.

Guwahati hosts ROC Shillong's effective operational hub for the entire North-East, ITAT Guwahati bench (handles eight North-East states + Sikkim), and the Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport — the principal aviation gateway to North-East India. The Brahmaputra Cracker & Polymer Limited (Lepetkata, near Dibrugarh) anchors petrochemical FDI in upper Assam.

The economic mix of Guwahati runs across plywood & forest products, agri-processing (rice, jute), tourism — sectors that consistently dominate the regulatory case-load and the profile of the engagements we field from this jurisdiction. Notable industrial enclaves include No active multi-product SEZ; export units claim NEIDS 2017 capital, GST and transport subsidies. On the AD-Bank side, SBI Guwahati and ICICI/HDFC mid-corporate desks in Guwahati handle the bulk of FEMA-CG filings for upper Assam tea exporters.

Assam contributes more than half of India's domestic tea output and over 12% of natural-gas production, and qualifies for NEIDS 2017's 30% Central Capital Investment Incentive on plant & machinery.

Section 143(3) Reportable Matters in Guwahati

Guwahati-region industry exposure (tea (largest single-state producer in India), petroleum & natural gas (Digboi, Numaligarh)) typically drives audit attention to inventory verification, related-party transactions, and contingent-liability disclosure.
