Frequently Asked Questions

Which Registrar of Companies handles filings for a company in Hubli-Dharwad?
ROC Bangalore has jurisdiction over companies with a registered office in Karnataka. Virtual Auditor files SPICe+, PAS-3, SH-7 and annual returns with that office on your behalf.
What stamp duty applies to a share transfer in Karnataka?
Stamp duty on a transfer of shares is 0.015% of the consideration under Article 62 of Schedule I to the Indian Stamp Act, 1899, as amended with effect from 1 July 2020; the rate is the same in every state, including Karnataka. Stamp duty on the share purchase agreement itself follows the Karnataka Stamp Act, 1957.
Do you have an office in Hubli-Dharwad?
There is no local office. Service is coordinated by our Bengaluru 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 report and approach fit this business valuation, share transfer or ownership decision?
The purpose decides the report and who signs it. A preferential allotment, merger or other valuation required by the Companies Act needs an IBBI Registered Valuer’s report. Foreign investment needs a FEMA pricing certificate from a Chartered Accountant in practice, a SEBI-registered merchant banker or a practising cost accountant. Income-tax value follows the prescribed rule. Insolvency needs two Registered Valuers’ fair and liquidation values. Accounts use fair value under Ind AS 113. A negotiation or family settlement has no statutory format. The approach then follows the business: income approach (discounted cash flow) where future cash flows can be estimated, market approach (listed comparables or transactions) where good comparables exist, and asset approach (net asset value) for holding or asset-heavy companies, with adjustments for control, minority stakes and marketability.
