Frequently Asked Questions

Which Registrar of Companies handles filings for a company in Mangalore?
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.
Which Shops and Establishments Act applies to a new business in Mangalore?
The Karnataka Shops and Commercial Establishments Act, 1961 applies in Karnataka, and professional tax is applicable. Virtual Auditor completes these registrations alongside incorporation.
Do you have an office in Mangalore?
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 business structure fits my founders, funding plans and liability needs?
It depends on who will own the business and how it will be funded. A private limited company suits founders who plan to raise equity or offer ESOPs: it needs at least two directors and two shareholders, and liability is limited to the share capital. An LLP suits partners who will fund the business themselves: it cannot issue shares to investors or ESOPs. A One Person Company suits a single founder who is an Indian citizen resident in India, and can later convert into a private or public company. A sole proprietorship has no separate legal identity, so the owner’s liability is unlimited. After incorporation, a company must hold its first board meeting within 30 days (section 173), issue share certificates within two months (section 56(4)) and file the commencement declaration INC-20A within 180 days. We confirm the fit and quote the full cost, including government fees and stamp duty, before filing.
