Frequently Asked Questions
Which Registrar of Companies handles filings for a company in Kerala?
ROC Ernakulam has jurisdiction over companies with a registered office in Kerala. 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 Kerala?
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 Kerala. Stamp duty on the share purchase agreement itself follows the Kerala Stamp Act, 1959.
Do you have an office in Kerala?
No. Kerala is served remotely from 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.
How do conversion terms, preferences and other rights affect this instrument's value?
Each right shifts value between classes of shareholders. A liquidation preference gives the holder money first on an exit; participation lets it share again after that; the conversion ratio or formula, anti-dilution protection, dividend rights, redemption terms and caps or discounts on notes change what the holder receives in each outcome. We read the actual terms in the articles and the shareholders’ agreement, model the outcomes (option-pricing, scenario-weighted or waterfall methods) and allocate the equity value across classes. The purpose matters: Ind AS fair value for the accounts, the FEMA rule that the conversion price or formula is fixed upfront at issue for foreign investors, and the Companies Act report for a preferential issue.

Disputes route through ITAT Cochin.
The economic mix of Kerala runs across IT (Technopark Trivandrum, Infopark Kochi, Cyberpark Kozhikode), marine products, spices & cashew (Kollam, Idukki) — sectors that consistently dominate the regulatory case-load and the profile of the engagements we field from this jurisdiction. Notable industrial enclaves include Technocity Trivandrum, Cochin SEZ (CSEZ). On the AD-Bank side, Federal Bank, South Indian Bank and CSB Bank (all headquartered in Kerala) offer deep AD-Cat-I services; HDFC, ICICI Kochi cover IT/ITeS SOFTEX.
Kerala hosts India's first IT park (Technopark Trivandrum, est. 1990) and the IFSCA-regulated Cochin SEZ; the state's Industrial Policy 2023 offers 30% capital subsidy for women-led ventures.
FEMA Pricing for Non-Resident-Subscribed CCPS
Kerala-based AD-banks (Federal Bank, SIB and CSB (all headquartered in Kerala) offer deep AD-Cat-I services; HDFC, ICICI Kochi cover IT/ITES SOFTEX) require conversion-mechanics documentation at FC-GPR filing.
Kerala: compliance facts for CCPS valuation methodology
Kerala's economy is services-led — tourism, healthcare, remittance-driven consumption and a maturing IT sector at Technopark (Thiruvananthapuram) and Infopark (Kochi) — with spices, seafood and rubber as the traditional export base. The Kerala Startup Mission is one of the country's most active state incubators, and cooperative and NRI-funded businesses are common. Companies file with ROC Ernakulam, litigate before the High Court of Kerala, and NCLT Kochi and ITAT Cochin hear company and tax matters. For CCPS valuation methodology this means the company’s filings go to ROC Ernakulam and tribunal matters to NCLT Kochi; where a non-resident invests, the price is also checked against the FEMA pricing rules.
