Frequently Asked Questions

Which Registrar of Companies handles filings for a company in Delhi?
ROC Delhi has jurisdiction over companies with a registered office in Delhi. 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 Delhi?
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 Delhi. Stamp duty on the share purchase agreement itself follows the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 (Delhi schedule).
Do you have an office in Delhi?
No. Delhi 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 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.

ESOP Valuation Certificate in Delhi (NCT)

ESOP valuation certificates for Delhi (NCT)-based companies serve three statutory regimes: Companies Act Section 62(1)(b) (employee allotment), Section 17(2)(vi) read with Rule 3(8) (perquisite valuation at exercise), and Ind AS 102 (share-based payment expense). Appellate forum where ESOP perquisite is contested: ITAT Delhi (multiple benches — largest in India).

The economic mix of Delhi (NCT) runs across wholesale trade (Naya Bazar, Khari Baoli, Old Delhi), media & advertising, retail & FMCG HQs — sectors that consistently dominate the regulatory case-load and the profile of the engagements we field from this jurisdiction. Notable industrial enclaves include Patparganj Industrial Area, Okhla Industrial Area. On the AD-Bank side, Delhi is the second-largest AD-I market after Mumbai; every foreign bank operates a dedicated mid- and large-corporate desk in Connaught Place / Nehru Place / Aerocity.

Delhi hosts ITAT's principal bench, the High Court bench with the largest TP-litigation docket, and the headquarters of the CBDT, DGFT, MCA and Competition Commission of India — making it the regulatory and judicial centre of gravity for company law in India.

Section 17(2)(vi) Perquisite Valuation at Exercise

For unlisted Delhi (NCT)-based companies, FMV is determined under Rule 3(8) with merchant-banker or CA valuation.

Ind AS 102 Share-Based Payment Expense Recognition

Delhi (NCT)-based listed-company subsidiaries and Ind-AS-applicable unlisted groups must reconcile this with the Section 17(2)(vi) perquisite at exercise.

Engagement — Delhi (NCT) Coverage

Virtual Auditor's ESOP valuation practice covers grant-date and exercise-date FMV under Rule 3(8) and Section 62(1)(b), Black-Scholes / Binomial models for Ind AS 102 expense recognition, ESOP-pool sizing advisory, and Section 80-IAC deferral structuring — for Delhi (NCT)-based companies.
