ROC Coimbatore has jurisdiction over companies with a registered office in Tamil Nadu. 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 Tamil Nadu?
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 Tamil Nadu.

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.
