Frequently Asked Questions
Which Registrar of Companies handles filings for a company in Raipur?
ROC-cum-OL Bilaspur has jurisdiction over companies with a registered office in Chhattisgarh. 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 Chhattisgarh?
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 Chhattisgarh. Stamp duty on the share purchase agreement itself follows the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 (C.G. Amendment).
Do you have an office in Raipur?
No. Raipur is served remotely from our Chennai head office, about 1,107 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.

Raipur is the capital of Chhattisgarh, the largest steel-trading and rice-milling hub in central India, and hosts the Naya Raipur SEZ. ITAT Raipur and the Chhattisgarh High Court at Bilaspur jointly anchor the state's tax-litigation ecosystem.
The economic mix of Raipur runs across rice-mills cluster, steel (Bhilai, Raipur belt — 15% of India's crude steel), cement — sectors that consistently dominate the regulatory case-load and the profile of the engagements we field from this jurisdiction.

On the AD-Bank side, SBI Raipur and Axis/HDFC corporate desks at Raipur and Bhilai cover most ODI/FDI documentation; mineral-sector exporters often add Mumbai AD branches.
