Frequently Asked Questions

Which Registrar of Companies handles filings for a company in Ranchi?
ROC Ranchi has jurisdiction over companies with a registered office in Jharkhand. Virtual Auditor files SPICe+, PAS-3, SH-7 and annual returns with that office on your behalf.
Which High Court has jurisdiction over Ranchi?
Writ petitions and appeals from Ranchi lie before the Jharkhand High Court (Ranchi).
Do you have an office in Ranchi?
No. Ranchi is served remotely from our Chennai head office, about 1,513 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.
