Frequently Asked Questions

Which Registrar of Companies handles filings for a company in Gurugram?
ROC Delhi has jurisdiction over companies with a registered office in Haryana. 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 Haryana?
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 Haryana. Stamp duty on the share purchase agreement itself follows the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 (Haryana Amendment).
Do you have an office in Gurugram?
No. Gurugram is served remotely from our Mumbai office, about 1,340 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.

ESOP Valuation Certificate in Gurugram

Appellate forum where ESOP perquisite is contested: ITAT Delhi / Chandigarh.

Gurugram (formerly Gurgaon) houses India's densest concentration of GCCs/Capability Centres after Bengaluru — over 350 GCCs across DLF Cyber City, Udyog Vihar, Sohna Road and IMT Manesar. Manesar additionally anchors Maruti Suzuki, Hero MotoCorp and Honda Cars India. Gurugram is the second-largest AD-Cat-I market in India (after Mumbai).

The economic mix of the wider region around Gurugram runs across automotive (Maruti-Suzuki Manesar/Gurugram, Hero Dharuhera), textiles (Panipat handloom & home-furnishing), IT/ITES (Gurugram cyber-hubs) — sectors that consistently dominate the regulatory case-load and the profile of the engagements we field from this jurisdiction. Notable industrial enclaves include Manesar IMT, KMP/KGP corridor. On the AD-Bank side, Gurugram is the second-largest FEMA market in India after Mumbai; HSBC, Citi, JP Morgan, DBS plus all top private banks run mid- and large-corporate AD desks.

Haryana hosts about 50% of India's passenger-car output and is the only state with no Professions Tax — combined with NCR proximity, this drives heavy FDI into Gurugram and Manesar.
