Frequently Asked Questions

Which Registrar of Companies handles filings for a company in Hyderabad?
ROC Hyderabad has jurisdiction over companies with a registered office in Telangana. Virtual Auditor files SPICe+, PAS-3, SH-7 and annual returns with that office on your behalf.
Which High Court has jurisdiction over Hyderabad?
Writ petitions and appeals from Hyderabad lie before the Telangana High Court (Hyderabad).
Do you have an office in Hyderabad?
No. Hyderabad is served remotely from our Bengaluru office, about 599 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.
I suspect fraud. How can the issue be assessed confidentially and evidence preserved?
Keep the circle small: involve only the people who must know, and bring in legal counsel early. Do not confront the suspected person before evidence is secure. Preserve evidence first: take copies of the accounting system and emails, keep devices and logs, and record a chain of custody, so the evidence can be relied on later. A Certified Fraud Examiner then scopes the allegation, tests transactions with data analysis and document review, interviews in the right order, and reports facts, not conclusions of guilt. Statutory duties may apply, such as the auditor’s duty to report fraud under section 143(12) of the Companies Act. We start with a confidential scoping discussion and an engagement letter that sets the access we need.

The economic mix of Hyderabad runs across pharmaceuticals & life sciences (Genome Valley — over 30% of India's vaccine output), aerospace & defence (TASL, Adani Aero), IT/ITES & GCC (HITEC City, Gachibowli) — sectors that consistently dominate the regulatory case-load and the profile of the engagements we field from this jurisdiction. Notable industrial enclaves include Adibatla Aerospace Park, Pharma City Yadadri.
