            Which High Court has jurisdiction over Jammu & Kashmir?

            No. Jammu & Kashmir is served remotely from our Mumbai office: 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 Jammu and Kashmir

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

            The economic mix of Jammu and Kashmir runs across handicrafts (Pashmina, Kani shawl, papier-mâché), small hydropower, carpet & shawl — sectors that consistently dominate the regulatory case-load and the profile of the engagements we field from this jurisdiction. Notable industrial enclaves include New Industrial Development Scheme (NIDS) 2021 offers up to 30% capital subsidy and 6% GST-linked incentive. On the AD-Bank side, J&K Bank (the lead AD-I bank for J&K), SBI Srinagar/Jammu, plus HDFC handle most FEMA filings; complex transactions usually channelled via Chandigarh AD branches.

            J&K's New Industrial Development Scheme 2021 (notified after Article 370 reorganisation) is among the most generous central-state schemes in India — 30% capex subsidy plus 300% interest subsidy on working-capital loans.

            Section 143(3) Reportable Matters in Jammu and Kashmir

            Statutory audit reports for Jammu and Kashmir-based companies must address CARO 2020 reporting clauses (21 in number), internal-financial-controls reporting under Section 143(3)(i), Section 134(3)(c) board-report attachments, and any qualification or emphasis-of-matter under SA 705/706. Jammu and Kashmir-region industry exposure (horticulture (apple — over 75% of India's apple output, walnut, saffron — GI-tagged Pampore), handicrafts (Pashmina, Kani shawl, papier-mâché)) typically drives audit attention to inventory verification, related-party transactions, and contingent-liability disclosure.

            Internal Audit & ICFR Assurance

            For listed-company subsidiaries and large unlisted entities in Jammu and Kashmir, Internal Audit under Section 138 plus ICFR (Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting) testing under Section 143(3)(i) is mandatory.
