Frequently Asked Questions

Which Registrar of Companies handles filings for a company in Tamil Nadu?
ROC Chennai (Chennai region) / ROC Coimbatore (Coimbatore region) 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.
Which High Court has jurisdiction over Tamil Nadu?
Writ petitions and appeals from Tamil Nadu lie before the Madras High Court (Chennai; Madurai Bench).
Do you have an office in Tamil Nadu?
Yes. Our head office is in Chennai — G-131, Ground Floor, Phase 3, Spencer Plaza Mall, Anna Salai, Chennai. Clients elsewhere in Tamil Nadu are served online, with meetings by video or at this 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.
