Frequently Asked Questions

Which Registrar of Companies handles filings for a company in Pune?
ROC Pune has jurisdiction over companies with a registered office in Maharashtra. Virtual Auditor files SPICe+, PAS-3, SH-7 and annual returns with that office on your behalf.
What is the GST state code for Maharashtra?
The GST state code for Maharashtra is 27; it forms the first two digits of every GSTIN registered in the state, and notices and appeals are handled by the Maharashtra administration with writ remedies before the Bombay High Court.
Do you have an office in Pune?
There is no local office. Service is coordinated by our Mumbai office: 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 received a GST DRC-01 notice. What is being alleged, what dates matter, and what evidence should I prepare?
DRC-01 is the summary of a show cause notice that proposes a demand of tax, interest and penalty. Read the notice itself, not only the summary: it states the tax periods, the grounds (for example a mismatch between GSTR-1, GSTR-3B and GSTR-2B, ineligible input tax credit or short payment) and the amounts. Dates that matter: the reply deadline stated in the notice; whether the notice was issued within the time limit under section 73 or 74 (for periods up to 2023-24) or section 74A (from 2024-25); and the date of any earlier DRC-01A intimation. Prepare a reconciliation of the department’s figures with your returns and books, invoices and payment proof for each disputed item, and earlier correspondence. File the reply in Form DRC-06 and ask for a personal hearing; tax you accept can be paid through DRC-03 before the order.

GST DRC-01 Notice Reply in Pune

DRC-01 notices to Pune-based GSTINs (state-code 27) are the primary trigger for Section 73 (non-fraud) or Section 74 (fraud) demand proceedings. Appellate route: GSTAT state bench, with cross-cutting income-tax interactions escalating to ITAT Mumbai (multiple benches) / Pune / Nagpur.

Pune hosts ROC Pune (Maharashtra's second ROC), the ITAT Pune bench, and the Hinjewadi Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park — Asia's third-largest IT park. The Chakan-Talegaon auto cluster (Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, Tata Motors, Bajaj Auto) and the Magarpatta SEZ make Pune the second-largest GCC-FDI city in Maharashtra after Mumbai.

The economic mix of the wider region around Pune runs across petrochemicals (Mahul, Trombay), IT/ITES (Pune Hinjewadi, Mumbai BKC/Powai/Andheri), engineering & textiles (Vidarbha, Marathwada) — sectors that consistently dominate the regulatory case-load and the profile of the engagements we field from this jurisdiction. Notable industrial enclaves include SEEPZ Andheri, Hinjewadi Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park. On the AD-Bank side, Mumbai is India's primary AD-Cat-I market; every foreign bank with an India licence operates a Mumbai AD branch; complex ECB/ODI/FCY structures are almost always anchored here.

Maharashtra is the top contributor to India's GSDP (~14%) and corporate-tax base; Mumbai houses the headquarters of RBI, SEBI, BSE, NSE, IRDAI, and the largest concentration of listed companies in the country.

Common DRC-01 Allegations in Pune

Recurring DRC-01 themes for Pune-based GSTINs in financial services (BFSI HQs at Mumbai) and petrochemicals (Mahul, Trombay): ITC denial under Section 16(2)(c) / Rule 36(4) mismatch, classification disputes, RCM short-payment, e-way bill non-compliance, and SEZ/EOU zero-rated documentation gaps. Each carries a distinct evidentiary defence.
