Frequently Asked Questions

Which Registrar of Companies handles filings for a company in Thiruvananthapuram?

ROC Ernakulam has jurisdiction over companies with a registered office in Kerala. Virtual Auditor files SPICe+, PAS-3, SH-7 and annual returns with that office on your behalf.

What is the GST state code for Kerala?

The GST state code for Kerala is 32; it forms the first two digits of every GSTIN registered in the state, and notices and appeals are handled by the Kerala administration with writ remedies before the High Court of Kerala (Ernakulam).

Do you have an office in Thiruvananthapuram?

No. Thiruvananthapuram is served remotely from our Bengaluru office, about 600 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.

Which GST registrations, filings or advisory services fit my business, and how will you manage them?

It depends on your turnover, where you supply from and what you sell. Most businesses need registration once turnover crosses the threshold (generally ₹40 lakh for goods and ₹20 lakh for services, lower in some states), or earlier if they make inter-state supplies of goods or sell through e-commerce operators. After that come monthly or quarterly returns (GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B), an annual return where it applies, and a monthly reconciliation of input tax credit with GSTR-2B. Exporters add a Letter of Undertaking and refund claims, and a business that receives a notice needs a reply or an appeal. We set up a filing calendar, collect your sales and purchase data each month, reconcile and file after your approval, and track notices on the GST portal.

Sector-Specific GST Issues in Thiruvananthapuram (Trivandrum)

The dominant industries in Thiruvananthapuram (Trivandrum) drive recurring GST themes: classification disputes (HSN/SAC determinations for borderline goods/services), ITC matching with GSTR-2B, e-way bill compliance for movement-heavy sectors, and SEZ/EOU zero-rated supply documentation. We routinely defend taxpayers in Thiruvananthapuram (Trivandrum) on GSTR-3B vs GSTR-1 mismatch notices, ITC denial under Section 16(2)(c), and Rule 86A blocked-credit ledger interventions.

DRC-01 / DRC-07 Notice Defence

Show-cause notices under Section 73/74 reaching Thiruvananthapuram (Trivandrum) GSTINs typically allege ITC mis-utilisation, classification errors, or zero-rated documentation gaps. Our practice draws representation up to GSTAT and writ-route through the Thiruvananthapuram (Trivandrum) High Court.

LUT, Refund & Inverted-Duty Structure

For exporters in Thiruvananthapuram (Trivandrum), the LUT-based zero-rated route requires annual renewal and is commonly contested where past defaults exist. Inverted-duty refund claims under Section 54(3) are particularly relevant for textile, leather and engineering taxpayers in Thiruvananthapuram (Trivandrum)'s industry mix; rejection rates increase where supplier-side ITC isn't reconciled in real time.
