Frequently Asked Questions
Which Registrar of Companies handles filings for a company in Tiruchirappalli?

What is the GST state code for Tamil Nadu?
The GST state code for Tamil Nadu is 33; it forms the first two digits of every GSTIN registered in the state, and notices and appeals are handled by the Tamil Nadu administration with writ remedies before the Madras High Court (Madurai Bench).
Do you have an office in Tiruchirappalli?
There is no local office. Service is coordinated by our Chennai head 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.
