Frequently Asked Questions

Which Registrar of Companies handles filings for a company in Dehradun?
ROC Uttarakhand (Dehradun) has jurisdiction over companies with a registered office in Uttarakhand. 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 Uttarakhand?
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 Uttarakhand. Stamp duty on the share purchase agreement itself follows the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 (Uttarakhand Amendment).
Do you have an office in Dehradun?
No. Dehradun is served remotely from our Mumbai office, about 1,614 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 ESOP valuation do I need for accounting, employee tax or a cross-border purpose?
Each purpose needs its own value, on its own date. Ind AS 102 needs the fair value of each option at the grant date, using an option-pricing model such as Black-Scholes or binomial; the company expenses it over the vesting period and its auditor reviews it. Employee tax needs the fair market value of the share, not the option, on the exercise date: the excess over the exercise price is taxed as a perquisite (Section 17(2)(vi) of the Income-tax Act, 1961; the corresponding provision of the Income-tax Act, 2025 from tax year 2026-27). For unlisted shares that value must come from a SEBI-registered Category I merchant banker. Where there is a US parent, its plan may also need a separate 409A value.
