13. Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Do you handle company registration for startups in Koramangala?
Yes. Virtual Auditor serves Koramangala startups from our Bangalore office. The ROC Bangalore office at Kendriya Sadan is located within Koramangala itself — the closest ROC to any startup district in India.
Q2: What is the stamp duty for company registration in Koramangala, Bangalore?
Karnataka stamp duty for company registration is ₹10,000 via the BSEC e-stamping portal — the same across all Bangalore neighborhoods including Koramangala.
Q3: Can you register a company at a co-working address in Koramangala?
Yes — co-working spaces like WeWork Koramangala and 91springboard provide registered office address services. You need the co-working operator's NOC, a service agreement, and a utility bill for the premises.
Q4: What FEMA compliance is needed for receiving FDI in Koramangala, Bangalore?
For every FDI transaction: FEMA valuation report (any internationally accepted method, certified by a Chartered Accountant in practice, a SEBI-registered merchant banker or a practising cost accountant), board resolution with FEMA-compliant language, FIRC from AD Bank, FC-GPR filing on FIRMS portal within 30 days of allotment, and share certificate issuance within 2 months. Virtual Auditor handles the complete FEMA lifecycle.
Q5: What is the penalty for late FC-GPR filing?
Late FC-GPR filing attracts FEMA compounding — approximately 5% per annum on the investment amount for the period of delay. Compounding applications are filed before the RBI Regional Office. Early voluntary compounding typically results in lower penalties than contraventions discovered during RBI or ED inspection.
Q6: Can Virtual Auditor handle FEMA compounding for past defaults?
Yes — Virtual Auditor prepares and files FEMA compounding applications including the compounding petition, evidence compilation, penalty computation, and representation before the RBI Regional Office. We handle compounding for late FC-GPR, late FC-TRS, pricing contraventions, and reporting defaults.
Q7: What is the difference between FEMA automatic route and approval route?
Automatic route: no prior government approval needed — most sectors allow 100% FDI under automatic route. Approval route: prior approval from the concerned Ministry/Department is required before the investment. Defense (74%), media (49-100%), multi-brand retail (51%), and certain other sectors have specific caps and conditions.
Q8: Is FEMA valuation different from income tax valuation?
Yes. FEMA valuation determines the FLOOR price (minimum) for share issuance to non-residents — using any internationally accepted pricing method (DCF is the most common). Income Tax Rule 11UA determines the ceiling for Section 56(2)(x) and 50CA. After angel tax abolition (July 2024), there is no IT ceiling for primary issuances — but FEMA floor remains fully operative.
Q9: What FEMA compliance is needed for ESOP exercises by NRI employees?
When an NRI employee exercises ESOPs: the exercise price must meet FEMA floor price, a board resolution must authorize the allotment with FEMA-compliant language, PAS-3 must be filed with ROC, and FC-GPR must be filed with RBI within 30 days. Virtual Auditor handles the complete ESOP-FEMA integration.
Q10: Do you handle FEMA compliance for companies in Koramangala, Bangalore?
Yes — Virtual Auditor serves businesses across Bangalore including Koramangala. Our FEMA practice is led by CA V. Viswanathan (FCA, ACS, IBBI Registered Valuer) with specific expertise in FDI pricing, FC-GPR filing, FEMA compounding, and cross-border transaction structuring. Contact +91 99622 60333.
Q11: Can we make this investment, borrowing or remittance, and which conditions and filings apply?
Sort the transaction by direction and instrument. Foreign investment into an Indian company follows the NDI Rules, 2019: check the sector cap and route, price it at or above fair value, and report it on FIRMS. Investment by an Indian entity or resident abroad follows the Overseas Investment Rules and Regulations, 2022, with filings through your bank. Borrowing from abroad follows the RBI’s external commercial borrowing framework: eligible lender and borrower, cost ceiling, end-use rules, a loan registration number and monthly ECB-2 returns. Individuals can remit up to USD 250,000 a year under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme. We check whether the transaction is allowed, list the conditions and approvals, and handle the filings.
